Last day at work (off till after Labor Day)....
Pre-op completed yesterday....
House is SPOTLESS....
Kids are covered...
Bag is packed (not much is in it:)....
Pain and Nausea meds purchased....
Unjury in 3 flavors.....
Chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth....
(Did I forget anything????)

Well I guess its my turn. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 9:30am. I have alot of emotions going on---- as I stayed up have the night going over so many things in my head. A crazy combination of being scared, excited, nervous, anxious, apprehensive yet very happy about this LIFE CHANGING event that is about to happen. I cried ......... as I watched all of my babies sleep (aged 13-3), thinking "A better me= a Better them". This is a blessing, and I will continue to think about all of the positive things that will happen as a result of this opportunity.

I trust God to take care of me as I am surgery, but please think about me, and say a little prayer for me Friday morning my GA Forum Crew.

Be Easy----- Tiff

Gas-x strips were recommended to me, and I must say I sure was glad I had them. They helped tremendously that first week post-op.

I hope all goes GREAT for you! Can't wait to hear from you afterwards! You'll do great!
