I have a Date

Just wanted to share since this was where I started, I also post on PA and OFF (Over Fifty Forum) that I finally have the date for my surgery, October 16, with PATs on September 27. For those of you who've been there, you know the excitement that I'm filled with, but there is also a nervous kind of feeling in the pit of my stomach, that is why these forums are so wonderful, because here I can come for support from people who know what I'm feeling. Thanks and keep that "Loser's Bench" warm and get ready to move over!

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Melissa, Thanks for taking the time to wish me well and believe me, I'm well versed in taking it "One Day At A Time", but it's always good to be reminded!

AWESOME!!!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

MissVic, Thanks for your thoughtfulness, I'll be praying that you day comes sooner, rather than later, but in just the right time for you!

Laureen,

Can you see me standing on the Betsy Ross jumping up and down in excitement. You are going to do so great. Keep busy and go to bed exhausted every night. It really helps. October 16 will be here before you know it.

Congratulations.

Jeanne, I felt the earth moving under my feet! LOL I'll be plenty busy for the next couple of days, some fun, some list making as to what needs doing and on September 14, my son and his family will be visiting from Germany for 2-1/2 weeks, so I'm guaranteed for the time to pass quickly. Thanks for the support!
