Finally have a date

The call that I have wanted for so long and didn't think I would ever get finally came yesterday late afternoon.  When I looked at the caller ID and realized it was from Dr. Bright's office I almost got sick to my stomach.  Answered it and Carol, his office manager, was on the other end.  She said I know you have wanted this call for so long and I am leaving for a conference tomorrow so wanted to give you the news before I left.  Yes, I was approved and have my surgery date.................AUGUST 13th!!!!!! Seems so far away though I know it will go by so fast.  After I hung up  the phone the excitement that I had been feeling for so long gave way to fear of the unknown and the nerves that I have been pushing down during this whole pre-surgical time period.  Carol also said that there may be a possibility of a July date but, she wouldn't know until the 27th so gave me the 13th of August date as a sure thing.   Just wanted to share the good news with everyone.  Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as my journey for a new way of life is just starting.  Can't weight to join you all on the loosers bench.  Keep in touch and take care.

Roller coaster isn't the word for it.  I can't believe it is actually happening.  Can't wait to see everyone on the looser's bench.

Shell, thanks.  I have been watching your updates and can't wait to hear how you are doing after your surgery.  Only 7 days and a wake up until your surgery.  I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
