The countdown begins

Howdy Ho everyone, As of Saturday, I will have 9 days left til surgery, woohoooo, and the strange thing is I'm not even nervous, I'm cool as a cucumber, is this normal? Hugs, Melissa

VERY normal....don't be surprised if you don't sleep well the night before though. I wasn't nervous that night, just really wanted to make sure everything was in order. I had the nerves RIGHT after I got approved and my date got set, but the closer to my date I got, the better I felt. I think I just knew in my heart that the Good Lord was looking after me, and that this was INTENDED to happen for me. I was DYING living the life I was living, and I just was comfortable i the knowledge that I was doing something to KEEP me from dying early... I was the most calm one in the whole group of folks that were with me at the hospital! LOL ! And that included my dad, my aunt, my 2 kids and my 2 best friends! LOL! I can't WAIT to start seeing the pics of you melting girlie!!! Tami

You know Tami, I didn't even have the nerves after approval either, I've been calm the whole time....Happy.... but calm, now I seem to be getting anxious as I count down the days, 9 to go, WOOOOOO FREAKIN HOOOOOO as you say, lol, I'm going to add my cell number to my contacts for you to call, David should answer, and once again, if I'm feeling ok I'll see you in Duluth. Hugs, Melissa

Congrats to you and I am excited for you. I know how I felt and I was ok also. I had the case of no sleep the night B4 but I was more excited that my day had finally came. You have made a fantastic decision for your life. You should be commended for it and I wish you well. You will do just fine. NAT

Thank you so much Natalie, I know this is the best decision I have made. I know I won't be able t sleep the night b4 surgery, but thats ok I'll sleep alot afterwards, lol. I'm still siked, even tho I'm not nervious I have to say that with it only being 9 days away I am getting anxious. I seen where you had said that you are a shy person. My problem is I'm not shy now "I'm a nut", lol, I'll be even more nuttier afterwards, hehehe Hugs, Melissa

Sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I dont... I just couldn't resist singing it

If my condition is evidence, you will definitely be nuttier...happier, but nuttier. A DEAR friend reassured me today that mine was a pre-existing condition. You are on my heart and in my prayers, Melissa!!! I love ya', Girlfriend! Becky

Thank You sweet Becky, I'm stil cool as a cucumber, I went tonight and bought me 2 new sleepshirts, and a new robe, getting pre-pared. Love ya !! Melissa

Congrats Melissa!! These next 9 days will whiz by. I can't believe that Monday is my new birthday!!! You will be in my prayers! Cynde

Happy re-birthday to you Monday, I'll call and check on you if that's ok. Let me know how things go, I bet the bowel prep is NO FUN right about now Hugs, Melissa
