I got my date!!!!

Hi Guys - I've been trying to set up my new iMac computer so couldn't write in before now BUT... I got my date for surgery! March 9th yippppeee I've only been waiting since September so I guess thats not so long. I went to my seminar Sept 6th had my first appt with Dr Hornbostel on Dec 6 now I finally have a date. I'm so happy (and scared! ) wow!! I don't have an angel yet... but I'm not on here too often. sitting at the computer hurts me right now. But I just wanted to share my good news with you all. Cool huh? Pat

Pat, Congratulations! Getting your date is such an exciting feeling! The scared will go away as you adjust and the time gets closer you really get to felling like you are so ready. Hugs, Marilyn

Congrats, dont worry, surgery will be a breeze, it is so exciting, I worried to before and that is natural, but I am so glad I did it, I can already walk better....love ya ...vesta

Vesta - are you Really alright? I mean we've been waiting for so long together and you finally got your surgery - are you really doing ok? I guess I'm just scared of not eating for so long while the rest of the world goes on like nothing is different. All my kids are slender built, very slim girls and boys - well actually so was I until I broke my back so badly in four places and was paralyzed for months and months... when I began to get feeling back in my legs I was already well on my way to being Big - I'm blessed that I wasn't born this way, but what if I'm meant to BE big now - after all the surgeries I've been through and all the metal rods, screws and paraphenalia -the scars, and memories of all these things are imbedded in my brain. Maybe I'm supposed to be this way - what happens if I am going against what is supposed to be? I don't know (I hate having doubts this late in the process!) But I do know being this big is hurting my back something terrible right now. ohhhh I'm sorry to bother you - honestly. Thanks for the encouragement - everyone I do need it desparately. I'm ok now I'm Hangin on! Pat

Pat I am doing great, There is so many foods you can have, just maybe cooked a little different, I was scared to but I just said God I cant do this alone please guide me in the way I should go, and He did..I will keep you in my prayers.. You will be fine...you have alot of good friends here to help you thru.....vesta

Hey Pat, It's your buddy Charlotte. If someone tells me what I am supposed to do, I will gladly be your Angel. If it has to be someone that already has had the surgery, well, you can trade with me. LOL You will be fine and be so proud of yourself. I have all the confidence in the world in you. Yah, how is your Mac? I will call you later in the week. Warm fuzzy hugz Charlotte B. kid4ever

Hi Pat, Congrats!! I know how you feel, but its right around the corner, so just take it one day at a time, and before you know it-you will be posting that you are home!! It seems like a long time, but it sure has a way of sneaking up on you-and its also better than not knowing! LOL....there is plenty of room for you on the losers bench!! Post if you need anything, ok? Glad to hear its almost over!! Love, Jan

Congratulations on getting a date. It'll be here before you know it.

yea!!!! I know it seems like a long time but wow March is almost here. That is so cool. Hey how do you like your new IMac? How are they really different than a PC? I have been wondering that a lot . Jan

Congratulations Pat on getting your date!! A little nervousness right now is pretty normal. after 6 weeks you'll be able to start adding in "normal" foods... You don't have to be on liquids or soft foods for the rest of your life. I'll keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery!! Hugs, Anna
