My Surgery Is Today

Hello, everyone. My surgery is scheduled for today at 7:30 a.m. and I have to be there at 6:00 a.m. Well it's 4:48 a.m ET and I'm wide awake. I've been awake since 4:00 a.m. because I'm too excited to sleep. Everyone in the house is sleeping and I'm just typing away. I don't even know how to express how I feel right now. God willing, everything will be fine and I'll be back to work next week. I'm a high school teacher and I'm not going to work today and tomorrow, but I might go on Friday. It all depends how I feel. We don't have school on Friday, just in-service for the teachers, and if I feel that I can handle being there for a bit, I'll go, if not I won't. We have a long weekend coming up, Memorial Day, so that helps me a lot, too. Please, don't wish me luck. This has nothing to do with luck. It has to do with determination, perserverance, and commitment. Luck is when things just happen out of chance. I know that my life is lead by God and He has everything under control. As I'm being put under on that operating table, He will be holding my hand and watching over me.  Nereida

BEST WISHES TO YOU!!!! When I got home I was tired. Seemed like all I did was shifts of sleeping, walking and drinking. But everyone is different.

GOOD LUCK and BEST WISHES !! When I first came home I needed to sleep for about an hour. After that, I was ok. 2 days later I was back to normal. We're all different, so don't worry if you don't feel like yourself for a few days !!

Hi Nereida, I am praying right now that you are okay.  I can't wait to hear that you made it through the surgery.  Let us know as soon as you can.  My prayers are with you.

Hi Nereida -  Hope all goes well for you!  Good luck & I'll say a prayer for you.  Jen
