Monday my journey begins

Well today is my last day at home.  Of course I am on clear liquids only til surgery.
Monday we head down to Utica, NY (4.5 hour drive) so that I can have my PATS on Tuesday and then surgery is Wednesday.

Of course I am freaking out a little, but a wonderful new friend has assured me that this is normal, and that I have nothing to worry about.  Thanks Mirielle!!!

My DH and I will be staying at the Holiday Inn and I plan to do some shopping on Monday and Tuesday.  (Nothing like retail therapy to keep your mind busy and your plastic hot).

Will come onto the board when I get home next week, hopefully Monday the 10th.

Starone is my angel and hopefully she will post.

sheri...you are in for the ride of your life and it is good!!! be safe and stay positive- enjoy teh time with hubby and that retail therapy! we will hold your place on teh loser's bench...i'm sure it will be dusted off before you hit the surgery table on wednesday!!!!!

remember to sip sip sip and walk walk walk--and chapstick!!!!oh--carry a pillow in the car for on the trip home- to put in front of your tummy...railraod tracks and bumps and etc hurt!!!!

hugs and prayers for a safe speedy surgery and quick recovery! see you back here soon!!!

Thanks for the hugs and prayers.  They are greatly appreciated.

Hubby is very supportive and that means a lot.  How he'll feel after I melt the credit cards from use is another matter.

Yes I am bringing both chapstick and a pillow.   I am quite positive about this and realize I NEED to do this to live a better life.

Sheri

   We will be here for you when you return.  Have fun shopping and take care of yourself.    Your new lifestyle journey is about to begin...  

Millie

Thanks Millie,

The shopping should keep my mind busy and so won't freak out.  I'll save that for after the surgery when I start to realize what I have really done.

Hope to post by next Monday.

Sheri

Sheri,

Your friend is correct about being normal to freak out. Try to enjoy your stay in Utica.

The losers bench will be warm for you.

Hugs
Annette
