I HAVE A DATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant belive im saying this! It hasnt really sunk in yet, but i have a date! My date is 12/20/07.  As you may have known from my previous posts, i found out through my chest x ray that i had a mediastinal mass. I met with 2 pulmunologists *****fared me to a thoracic surgeon. The thoracic surgeon examined my films and determined that since the mass didn't seem cancerous, it was much safer for me to loose the weight first, and then undergo the surgery for removal of the mass. The mass will be monitored periodically thorugh CT scanns until i loose enough weight that the removal surgery will be safer. This journey thus far has been VERY emotional, but i know its worth it. I am really looking forward to a healtheir happier me! Thanks to god who has made all things possible even if it wasnt on my time! Thanks OH Family for being there for me through it all.  Pre ops- if you have some time, check out my blog beacuse ive learned alot along the way ...maybe you can pick up a thing or 2 that will make your process easier. Post ops-  if you have time, check out my blog ... i'd love to have your input on things

Thanks!.. It works GREAT with school. my last final is on the 17th

Right around the corner.. congratulations!  Its hard to describe that feeling when you find out it really is going to happen, you know the date.  It seemed to me like up until that point time moved super super slow, and then once I knew my surgery date the next few weeks sped by so fast.  I'm very happy for you and look forward to watching your progress!

Thanks...I hope things go fast!
