4 DAYS TILL SURGERY/MORE GROUNDED

Today is my last day of work, I submitted all the paperwork for my short term disability, and wrapped up all the lose ends. My coworkers have been so wonderful. I actually got a few gifts and cards which I wasn't expecting. Everyone is supporting my decision and can't wait to start seeing my progress, which means so much to me. I couldn't believe all the hugs I got today..lol. I went to my PCP yesterday and she prescribed me Xanex for the panic attacks and said it will help me to relax. I haven't filled the script yet, instead I have been talking to God alot and I feel much more grounded. I am excited to start this journey and get to the other side. I am so grateful to be given this chance to truly change my life. As scared as I am, I know that it will all turn out as it is meant to be. I am also so thankful for you all on this board for being there for me and sharing your experience, strength and hope. 4 days and counting.... Susan

Thank you Sherri and God Bless Susan

Susan Can you believe you are having surgery. I remember you post about being discouraged and about your insurance company. It told you everything would be fine. Remember the advice I give everyone. Put a smile on your face, positive thoughts, and a new altitude. If you go into surgery with that smile you will wake up with one. Please have someone post about your operation, so we know everything went well. Please post or e-mail if you need us. I wish I lived closer to be there for you. Hugs Kathy

Hi Kathy Thnak you so much, you are such a sweet person and very thoughtful. I promise I will try to smile. Susan
