ok guys...I'm gonna try to go sleep...wish me luck!
I'm first case tomorrow. I gotta be there early early!
A friend is taking me so my partner can get our little girl off to her first day of school.
I just tucked her in and fought back the tears - big time. I hate to miss her big day.
But I hope to be home right around the same time as she gets home...although I know I will be like hammered dog ****
I said good night to my mom by phone. I cried a bit...okay, alot.
Many feelings swirling around tonight. I'm grateful. I'm nervous. I'm excited. All those things.
I even feel some of the sadness I felt the night before my RNY.
Hard to explain...But I just think "how did I let this happen? how did I let myself get so big? So big that I ruined my skin...in such a way that I need surgical intervention to look normal..."
Then I shift my focus to the positive. I am 167 pounds lighter. I am 48 tomorrow (yes, I am having surgery on my berfday!!). I am healthy and happy. No more diabetes.
I'm having reconstructive plastic surgery that is costing me a 100 dollar co-pay bcause I have great insurance!
It's gonna be good.
I appreciate all the kind words and good advice I get here.
So, good night all. I will post as soon as I am able to.
