Had my preop appt. yesterday

   Well, everything is done now. Blood drawn, EKG (was perfect), chest xrays, meeting with the nurse to review everything, talk about how things will go, what to expect, etc. Now I am VERY excited.       I think that now I am going through what pregnant women do that they call "nesting." LOL - weird! Had my honey take my measurements yesterday too. Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! I remember when my waist was the size my neck is now! Well, not quite, but close!      I have 5 more days to go. I sooooo look forward to feeling better. Have little crying jags occaissionally but mostly because it is finally here. It has been such a long road to get to where I am now. I may need more than just a seat on that bench. I'm gonna have to lay down for a nap!      Thanks to you all again for keeping my spirits up and my determination in check. My OH family has been my greatest tool so far. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! xoxo Mare

As we say around here, "you're getting to the short rows now!" Those crying spells are fully "normal" too, so let 'er rip Mare.
