I Got a Date!

I got a date - I really got a date. I no more than posted that I had been turned down by my primary insurance when I got a phone call by OHSU that I actually have a date! I will check in with Dr. Clifford Deveny on April 23th, and the Surgery will be scheduled on May 23rd! How do I feel about this? Excited. Am I positive I will have the surgery? As long as I feel good about it, and as long as they can tell me I do not have lymphedema in my legs. I am surprised, and happy, and nervous, and oh, how else do I feel....I don't know. Is it really going to happen? Is this when reality sets in, or am I still fearful that it won't happen and I will blow it somehow? No, I'm past the fear...I think I am okay with most of it. I still fear the vomiting. I just don't want to experience that...but I know what I can do to prevent it, I am hoping. Make good food choices, eat slowly, and chew my food. From here on it is just continuiing to Pray that this is the right thing to do....that this is Gods will. Gesch http://chronicpain-byladyfrog.com
