I HAVE A DATE!!!
Hi Candice -
Thanks again for your kind and encouraging words. They are always so very appreciated.
My Dr. also wants us to have a High Protien, Low Fat diet. So that's what I'm shooting for. I must admit a few indulgences, but nothing extraordinary. I'm not planning on gaining a ton right before I go in to have this surgery.
Let's see. This week I have Dr's appointments Thursday and Friday mornings ... The Friday appointment is with Dr. DeMaria; maybe then it will all seem more real and imminent. I have a number of questions ... I think up a bunch and then go look to see if they've already been answered. Some have, some I'll still need to ask. Next week, I have my Pre Op on June 1. Then I have the week-end and my surgery will be June 5th. Jeez, that sure is getting a lot closer, isn't it.
I'm looking forward to making this journey with you. BTW, do you have an "angel" yet. If not, I'd be happy to act as one for you or you might consider having someone else on OH that you feel close to do it for you. It should be someone fairly nearby, so that they can check on your progress through surgery, recovery and when you get home. This way you keep people on OH from worrying. As soon as you get back on your feet and can post yourself, your angel will give up posting for you.
I look forward to seeing you soon. ... Oh, are you planning to go over to Perkin's this Saturday Morning?
All the best,

Okay ... Egg on my face. You told me that you would be out of town and of course the meeting isn't this Saturday, it's the following one ... right between my Pre-Op and Surgery!

I can hardly believe that there are less than two weeks until I'll be on the "other side." Diane is going to be my angel ... but, I don't think anyone can have too many, so please feel free to join in.
I would be honored to be your angel. Let's talk about it when we get together.
Warmly,
Barb
