I have a surgery date.

I got a call around 7:00 tonight and I am scheduled next week for surgery. It is actually 1 week from today. Wow that happened fast. No time for a final last supper, because we had already finished dinner. Tommorrow I start the clear liquids. I am scared and I don't want my 4 children to be afraid so I am being very upbeat. I am trying to decide whether to tell my dad I am going to have this surgery. He has no idea. I just don't know how he will react, but I don't want to be deceptive either. I would appreciate your prayers. I don't want to die, because my children need a mother. Kim M.
