Surgery is TOMORROW.

Sometimes I thought I'd never get here, but now it's only one short sleep away.  I have to be at the hospital at 5:15 AM for a 7:15 AM surgery.  I've lost 13 pounds on my liquid diet, am now down to 246. 

MIL got here to help out on Saturday, and has been having fun spending time with the kids.  She permed oldest DD's hair last night, she looks like a completely different kid. 

I'll be missing my oldests' 6th grade graduation for the surgery, but she's been wonderful about it.  She told me, "It's ok, you're missing my graduation from 6yh grade so you won't have to miss my high school and college graduations."    MIL is going to the graduation in my place and will be taking lots of pics, and we're going to go get her a new dress to go with her new 'do today.  

Lots of last minute things to do today before an early bedtime!

I wish you the best.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.  Soon we will welcome you to the loser's bench!!! 

You can tell you are a mother by your "short sleep" statement...I had to laugh because that is how my grandkids count things too. Your are going to do great!! Your little one sounds like a very smart little girl! You will be here for many, many things in their lives! That is one thing I am so greatfull for. I will be here to watch my grandbabies grow up!  I am so glad you made this decision at a young age to have a better quality of life for you and for your family. You will be on your feet in no time and melting away. Tomorrow you will just have a feeling of peace...and before you know it, you will be out the door and headed home.....I'll be praying for a quick and flawless recovery!

I'm so excited for you! It's going to be amazing, and do not entertain even the thought of any complications. Make sure you're "current" with God (if you don't mind some spiritual advice), and you will have amazing peace. Go to sleep before surgery with a smile on your face, and you'll wake up the same way.
Update as soon as you're able. Welcome to The Losers' Bench!
Prayers Go With You,
Mary
