New Lease On Life

I am having surgery in a week and I just wanted to share with you all what I have posted on my blog... this is how i feel today!  I am SO excited and nervous and unsure about surgery and life beyond but I know it's going to be WONDERFUL!  Let me know what you guys think! 

From my blog:
Yesterday I was in a shop in Wilmington, NC called "Swoozies" with some friends.  I was just walking around the store admiring the ridiculously cute stationary, cups, napkins, etc when it hit me... On March 17 I will start a COMPLETELY new chapter in my life.  I have recently moved.  I will start a new job in April.  I am having surgery that will give me a whole new life, the kind of life I have dreamed about.  I am getting a completely fresh start.  March 17 will be day 1 in the next chapter in my life.  How crazy is that?!  How much more of a perfect "fresh start" could someone get--short of moving to a new city and having these things fall into to place?  I may not have moved to a new city, but the apartment I am living in right now is more mine in the last two and a half weeks than my other apartment was in the 6 months that I lived there.

 

Since that realization yesterday I have felt completely... JOYFUL at what this surgery is going to do for me!  I can't wait for my new job to start.  I LOVE my apartment, and the new life that is about to start for me because of this surgery is going to be wonderful!

 

I want everyone to know that I am happy right now.  Sure, some days are icky and "ugh!", but for the most part I am happy!  This will really be WONDERFUL!

 Hey girl! I'm so excited for you!! I was packing to go home today (its spring break here in Oklahoma) and I started packing regular going out clothes and stuff and then realized I wont be needing those things. I had to replace them with sweatpants and such. It really hit me that this thing is no long years or months or weeks away, its DAYS!! I'm so excited! Keep me posted on how you're doing!!

 Definitely!  I am cleaning up house and starting to get things in order for recovery! I"m going to recover for sometime at my parents house, and then back to Wilmington, NC to convalesce for the following 2 weeks... then it's NEW JOB TIME! I am SO excited! It's going to happen!  Good luck with yours, and you keep me updated too!

i moved to a new city 2 months after my rny and its almost been a year in a few weeks and its flown by so fast!! and its been such an incredible journey (mentally and physically!!)

congrats on everything!!!!
