A Date!!!!

The doctor's office called me today to schedule a date, I asked for my options and I will call them back Tuesday morning. I was so excited!!! We have a lot of scheduling to do, so I needed to call in all my favors to see what would work out the best. Since I'm a band director and have kids auditioning for honor bands, 5th graders to start, performances alll the time...no time is really good for me to miss work..the weekk I chose to be the best, is the week the doc is taking vacation....so back to replanning. But the good thing is thay have an opening in Sept...on Sept 12th...wow 2 weeks away, my mother in law can take off work for 5 days, Jason will be off his 10 lb weight restriction (although he can't take any more time off work...because he used it all up on his surgery) But we do what we have to do...so I'm calling all my friends in to take shifts It's funny, I'm not worried about the pain, the surgery or the new lifestyle...I'm worried about scheduling help during my recovery. Jason asked me today if I had any doubts.....I said no, but this little voice inside me said..."maybe I have doubts, I have failed so many times before"....I don't want to have any doubts...I want it so bad I can taste it...so I try to think positive and try to convince myself to have a little faith...in myself...I deserve this and I love myself enough to change. God Bless

YIPEE!!! You go girl, scheduling queen. Just forge ahead and let the doubts take care of themselves. I know, I have then too my date is Sept. 15th. We have waited too long and we need to trust in our hearts and in God that things will work out and we will see each other on the losing side!! Take Care paula

Congrats, When I was two weeks out it consumed my every thought. Iwas excited. I hope that you find the support you need. I an sure you'll be surprised by all the support you'll find. Good Luck

Hey that's fast Deb! You two will have to get second jobs to keep up with buying your new wardrobes!! I still think you should go on Oprah! The help will be there when you need it. And those little doubts... we have all had them- they nag at us when we see our favorite foods post-op but we stomp them out when we step on the scales!!!

CONGRATS!! Attitude is about 90% of the battle I think. You got that covered. You DO deserve this, and you have faith in yourself whether you see it or not, I see it. :P Elizabeth
