Tomorrow's the day!

 So I just wanted to post a note letting everyone know that I'm heading into surgery tomorrow. I haven't been very active on the message board, but I've been reading everything others have been saying. I've found everything you've been saying very encouraging and helpful. And I will see many of you on Thursday at support group! :-D

Let me be the first to say,

WELCOME TO THE LOSER'S BENCH!!

I'm so happy for you, Rissa. You're going to do great! My prayers go with you, but you know that, don't you. :) Go to sleep with a smile and a prayer on your lips, and you will wake up happy. As soon as you can, post, and in the meantime, walk, rest, sip, and repeat. :)
All right, Okies, scoot on down and make room on the Losers' Bench for Rissa!
Blessings,
Mary

Congratulations!! Everything will go wonderfully!!!

 Thanks guys! I'm sitting in my hospital bed right now relaxing. Surgery was good, no complications. I've been up and walking already and sipping water. Thanks for all the well wishes! 

Awesome! :)

Hey Rissa:

I'm glad you took your laptop with you, and it's super news that you've done well so far! I think I was sitting behind you and Stephanie last week?? Just remember, like they have all said, sip sip sip and walk walk walk! You'll do fantastic!

 WOO HOO AND WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH! HOLD ON FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE!!
