THE BIG DAY IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!

Hello to All!!! I justed wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful messages on my support page. They have made my day. I do not think that I would be feeling so confident about this big step with out all the support I get from you guys. I have been keeping myself very busy today. I had to get one of my presciptions switched because it was not crushable. I spent the afternoon with my 4 year old son too. It was great!!! I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon and early evening with both my children, 9 year old Shelby and 4 year old Jamie. Shelby has a softball game today at 6pm. GO SHELBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This past weekend, I got everything organized. I organized the refrigerator and now have my own shelf. Same for the pantry. I have all my foods for protein shakes and pureed foods. I have been anal about getting everything done around the house. I even got the carpets professionally cleaned(don't know what that is going to do for me after surgery) HA!. I also cleaned all the clothes and set out outfits for both of my children on the dining room table(God only knows what my husband would pick out for our children to wear) LOL!!! I have all my family support set up to take care of the children when I am in the hospital. Thanks to my grandmother, my father, my nana, and my cousin. They have all volunteered to chip in and take care of the children. NOW I HAVE TO BRAG ABOUT MY HUSBAND!!! HE IS THE MOST WONDERFUL MAN IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD. HE HAS VOLUNTARILY TAKEN OFF THE TWO WEEKS WITH ME. HE HAS HELPED GET EVERYTHING ORGANIZED AROUND THE HOUSE. HE HAS BEEN VERY ATTENTIVE TO ME AS WELL. I COULD NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING ELSE. HE IS MY BIGGEST FAN AND I LOVE HIM WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING! I want to thank everyone again for the wonderful support. I have been pursuing this for almost two years now and it is finally here. You are a great group of people and I will be very proud to be on the losing side with each and everyone of you. Loves and Smiles!!! Julie

Hi Julie, I`m so glad for you. I pray everything will go well. My husband goes for his pre admission testing on the 3rd. My date was originally for the 26th of May but we opted to change it so hubby could get the surgery first ,do to his diabetes. We hope to have it done so he won`t have to go on insulin. His surgery date was changed to the 17th of May and now mine will be June 7th., Just enough time so he can drivew me home after the surgery Bye for now, Lea of Del.{formerly Lydia Bennicoff] ps:, Good Luck

That was sweet of you Lea. Now Julie, You have a very positive outlook. That is what all of us should have before going into surgery. Good luck and we will be seeing you on the losing side. Christie
