All marked up and ready for surgery Monday AM.

I look like a preschooler was practicing art on my lower body..haha! Go in for surgery at about 8:30 or 9 am. It all begins at 8 am, but prep takes a while.

Kathy will be getting an update later in the day and will post you all on how it goes. I am sure it will go excellent. Am excited to have it done and begin the healing process then head for home on December 5th. Already missing my grandbabies! (Always miss them more than anyone...they are just so special and precious!)

My 4 year old granddaughter Cheyenne (aka weeble) is so afraid that grammy won't be able to hold her for a long time, like the last time I had PS. And asked how would she ever see me if the plane won't come back. I assured her that not only would the plane come back, but grammy will be on it and she will indeed be able to have grammy hold her again very soon. Its hard to explain to a 4 year old that this surgery isn't nearly what I had the first time. I just told her this will be a much smaller boo boo and won't hurt grammy nearly as much. Ahhh she's my precious lovey girl!!!

Wish me luck all! I will check in as soon as I am up to it.. in a couple of days or so I am thinking.

Good Luck to you and many many prayers for a speedy recovery!! 

Wishing you luck and a speeding recovery.... keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs, Lisa

 Good Luck Patrece.  I am praying for you.

Adding my prayers to everyone elses. Speedy recovery. Boats of hugs.....

Thank you everyone! I am doing very well...much better than I anticipated. Last time was so rough! BUT then I had a lot more done last time. I did so well in recovery, the DR agreed to let me come back to the hotel instead of staying at the hospital. It helped that he knows I am a nurse, so know what to watch for and how to take care of things.

I am very sore and tender, but thats to be expected. All in all I feel great! Have tons of swelling, even in arms, hands, legs, feet...but I experienced that the last time as well. In a week or two most of it will subside for the most part.

We wish you a speedy, uncomplicated recovery.

:0)     Thank you! I appreciate it very much! Counting down until Sunday... Thats when I fly back home. It's not bad here AT ALL, nice and warm compared to Colorado, but the language barrier can be a bit of a challenge at times...
