2 DAYS AWAY FROM THE BIG DAY!!!!!

WELL EVERYBODY, MONDAY SEPT. 13 IS MY BIG DAY!!! I HAVE TO SAY I DO NOT HAVE THE JITTERS, WHICH IS GOOD. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS DAY IS HERE. I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR ALL THEIR PRAYERS, SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT DURING THIS TIME. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE BEING WITH FAMILY, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS SITE HAS BECOME TO ME. THE KIND WORDS, ALL THE ADVICE, THE LOVE, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR!!! I WILL CONTINUE TO POST RIGHT UP THE MINUTE I LEAVE FOR THE HOSPITAL. THEN MY MOM WILL DEFINTELY KEEP YOU GUYS INFORMED. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE DAY BEFORE SURGERY. I AM ON A LIQUID DIET THE DAY BEFORE SO HOW DO I KEEP MY MIND OFF OF EATING ALL DAY LONG???

Congratulations! As to not thinking about food the day before, don't sweat it. Just keep drinking all day and you shouldn't really feel hungry. Plus, once you take the phospho-soda, you won't be thinking about anything but how far it is to the potty!! Hang in there, that is really one of the worst parts of the whole experience. You'll be in my prayers!! Ann in Duluth

THANKS FOR THE INFO!! I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE POTTY THING

Good Luck and God Speed Brittany! I am glad you aren't nervous. Just hold onto your faith and trust that God will be there to guide your Surgeon's hands. Hugs, Tonya

THIS IS THE REASON I LOVE THIS SITE!!! THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.

Brittany good luck Monday!!!! Just know that if you eat something your surgeon will cancel your surgery. That alone would be my motivator. Plus if you have to do the bowel prep you'll be glad you are not eating. Debbie

OKAY...I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!

Oh, Brittany, I'm so excited for you! Just think, this time next year you'll be wearing the cutest clothes and talking about how much fun you had at the beach in your new bathing suit. How wonderful that you've got a whole lifetime ahead to enjoy to the fullest. Best of all, you've given God the glory, and I know He'll be right there with you, all the way. Tell your Mom we'll be waiting to hear your good news. Barb

YES, I MUST PRAISE GOD FOR ALL MY BLESSINGS!!!
