Persistance Pays!!!!!

Hello to all, As alot of you may know I've been actively working on getting my "ROO" for quite some time now, (Since April 20th, to be more precise) Well yesterday I did my pre-op in Ft. Lauderdale and guess what, ta da I got me an official date!!!!!!! (insert hysterically happy emotican!) Ok so when is it? NOV. 12th, like next friday, I'll be the first in line that day for surgery at 7:30 am!!!!! Has anyone every seen how fast Johanna can run and jump with excitement? So of course I'm asking to be added to your prayer list, as this e-community is in mine! I am as ready for this surgery as I can be. Like always very positive that everything will turn out ok, and faith the Good Lord to be my surgeons hands and guide! Amy can I send you an e-mail with Alice's cell # so that way you can call and she'll update you! Hmmm Doesn't that sound like angel duty? Thank you for letting me share my joy! God bless all! Johanna Keepin the Faith

Congraqtulations Johanna, I know you have worked hard and long on this. Definately have your angel let us know how you do that day. Good luck, steve

Johanna, ABSOLUTELY! Please let me be your angel on that special day WOW, that is amazing how quickly you got a date, you dont even have time to panic like some of the rest of us did. Send me all your info- hospital, cell, etc when you get a chance and I'll get you all of my info too. I cant wait for you to cross to the losing side. You have been so patient and focused thruout your process. I am SO happy for you! I hope Gail sees your post because I know she is gonna be so happy for you too. On a side note, I will be up there on Tuesday, 11/23 for a 1pm follow-up with Dr. O, maybe some of the Ocala folks from the board can meet for lunch or coffee that day (just broth for you, Missie)? Let me know Congrats again! Amy
