Great news! Bet you thought it would never get here. I'm so happy for you! Are you ready for a wild ride?!? You'll be in my thoughts and prayers for a safe surgery.

Heeeeey! I am so very excited. I just realized that this week is almost over already and I still have lots to do. I went Tuesday and got my hair cut and a pedicure (Love that pedicure!). I did go buy myself a robe even if I won't need it. I told my husband I can wear it until it falls off of me and then I can give it to my sister. And I bought a pretty pink VICTORY shirt to wear to the hospital Weds. My last 5X purchase ever!!!! It was like an event to buy that shirt. So even though I probably shouldn't have spent the money it didn't cost much and fulfilled a need and I love the shirt. I'll feel pretty Weds. morning anyway. I want to go visit my Mom (she has Alzheimers and lives in an ECF) Monday morning and I want to go visit my dear friend of over 30 years who I don't get to see often. I want to speak to each of my six grandchildern on the phone and my daughter in CA. and the one in GA. Just in case... Well I won't even go there! I want to go weigh in one more time before my surgery too so I will have an accurate preop weight. Gonna try and get my house straightened up some this weekend so I will feel better taking it a little easy when I come home with a very sore tummy. My son is coming over to help me too! Isn't that nice of him?! Well I gotta get going. I have to take a diuretic daily and it is working if you know what I mean. Sarah I forgot to mention you on the other posts but I love you still! Thank you all for your kindness and support this last many many months. Now that it is time it is all kind of surreal like I am still in a dream! Take care my friends! Kat
