Today I start...

Good Morning, my liquids, 48 hours pre-op. I can't believe that I have two days left. The time went by very fast. This time in Three Days, my surgery will be over. I think I am well prepared and have everything I need. Without these boards I don't think I could have been this prepared. Thanks for listening. Michele

Congratulations and I'll keep you in my prayers. Cathy

Thank you Cathy.

Michele, yippeeeeee! Wow, it's like ....HAPPENING!! Keep your focus! And about how these boards have helped in preparation ... I can't agree with you more! I've gotten real, live, personalized and detailed accounts and advice that has helped beyond measure. Best of everything to you, Michele! Maxi

Thank you Maxi.

Michele, You are on your way!!! Congrats!!! I agree ... I have always said that as soon as I got my approval ... time simply flew by. Was almost surreal feeling. I actually started wanting more time before surgery. Imagine that? Well anyway, the hardest time for me on the liquids was the middle of the first day (and that was really head hunger) ... after that it was easy for me. I hope it is as smooth for you. Wishing you smooth sailing and a super speedy recovery! Remember that after surgery, get up and walk as soon as you can, take the breathing treatments serious and work on getting that little floating ball where they want it, ask questions, lots of questions and take time to rest also (if that is actually possible in the hospital). And while resting take time to dream of all the changes yet to come in the following months. At last but not least ... rest assured that the docs and nurses are top notch ... you will be getting the best possible care. Hang in there ... it is so close you can taste it (as long as it is clear liquids that is) Hugs, Tammy

Hi Michele I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I agree with you that the DE board has really helped me in getting prepared for surgery. What a great early Christmas present to yourself. Rose

Hi Michele, Best wishes on your surgery. Ellen

Hi Michele, You're coming down the home stretch! I'm very excited for you, lol I think I'm almost as excited as the pre-ops are because I know what wonderful things await you here on the losers bench. Keep smiling! Linda
