GVegas Here I come
OK folks everything is packed and as soon as the dryer stops we're on our way to Greenville. Since my boys aren't exactly morning folks we decided to go up tonight and stay at a hotel near the hospital. I just uploaded my official before and after pictures and a couple of my boys.
I just wanted to thank everyone for being so helpful on here. I've never asked a question that didn't get a quick response to nor have I ever felt like I didn't matter. I've come to think of yall as my extended family and it's an awesome feeling. I'll be picking your brains for more help after surgery and just getting to know you better in general.
Thanks for preparing me for my big day. Annie - give me a couple of days then kick my butt to make sure I'm wearing out my mp3 player and treadmill. Melissa - start flapping those wings you'll get a call as soon as the family knows anything. CarolinaGirl (Angie) I'll see you bright and early in the morning - you bring the coffee and I'll bring the donuts (LOL).
See ya on the losing side.

Iris,
I snuck online real quick to say good luck and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers! Dr MacDonald is a wonderful doctor (he's done 2 surgerys for me and I'd go back again if I had to!). Anyway, keep the positive attitude and we'll be polishing up a seat on the loosers bench!

After returning home with the bulldogs this morning I said "oh my gotta get that candle for Iris"fortunatly I have many candles and many colors.
Your name is on that purple candle Iris, and will burn untill I know you are ok.
Melissa is going to call me.
So I better get my butt in my room and do my thing.
I dedicate my work out to you Iris.
