Starting Clear Liquid Diet in an Hour...

Starting the clear liquid diet in an hour in preparation for surgery. Yeeeehaaaaa. Can you believe that I am actually happy to do it? The kids and I are about to have some pork fried rice as a last snack/meal. Monday I go in for the filter as an outpatient and Tuesday is the BIG DAY! I want to thank everyone for putting up with me. And remind the pre-ops to hang in there, it will happen. There were times that I though it might not happen for me, truth is that I still have my fingers crossed now. I'm sure next week I'll be posting the usual questions like "am I doing this right..." Bear with me. Love to all, Dianne

Dianne - Best wishes! Hope all goes well (we know it will). I'll be looking for you in about a week or so, online! Valerie

best of luck to ya! you're in our prayers..

Yeah Dianne! I am so excited for you! I know how many high's and lows you have had and your persistance is an inspiration to pre ops! We look forward to any questions you have, you have certainly earned them. I hope you have an uneventful surgery and hospital stay and a fast recovery! I have your pictures from PMRI & you are not even going to recognize yourself in a few months!

Thanks, guys. Uggggh! Pics of me, yuck-- but I'm really appreciative that you took them!

Hey Diane, This time it's gonna be the real deal. Gonna be here when you need me. So will everyone else. Hope today is busy, but quiet for you. It'll go fast for you. Hope the filter goes well tommorrow. In & out. I'll keep you in my thoughts. All positive ones. TT you later. ((HUGS)) Elissa
