A very special DS is occurring Wednesday
OMG I've avoided crying until this point!! Thank you Julie, and thank you everyone for your wishes - they will go a long way and I will think of you fondly everytime I hit the pain pump :p
Other than the fact that the surgery is Thursday (I just checked the calendar, could you imagine if I got it wrong and missed my surgery after all of this ?!) - and I know that was me jumping the gun on my 2 week countdown post - this post is perfect and exactly what I needed right now . . .
I've commented that I wasn't having any kind of freak out but now, as I'm boxing old clothes, throwing out old papers (read: manically organizing my room) I know that's not true, and I had a non-Tony bad dream last night... maybe not a nightmare, but that I was doing regular daily activities and kept looking down (of course I was nekkid as with any anxiety dream) and kept noticing that Dr. K didn't stitch me up so I had this big flap and could see the insides of my insides! I woke up and reminded myself that it's a laparoscopic surgery and tried to distract myself with GHP cream of mushroom "soup".
Dark side, here I come!!! Next stop, thinkgeek.com for a dark side t-shirt... maybe a size L?? :)
Thanks again everyone - I'll post as often as I can!
Lots of Love and Gratitude,
Sherry

LOL - I can't believe that I jumped the gun by one day on your surgery date.....even if you did post a two-week freak post one day early, you'd think I'd have the presence of mind to know your date of surgery. Oh well - like I said on FB - you'll be getting some really good mojo vibes on Wednesday too.
Box up those old clothes - you won't be needing 'em anymore!
