Title: Its my turn! Surgery tomorrow!
Post by: anissa on March 31, 2009, 07:20:38 am: Well friends, tomorrow is the big day. Today I have 4 pre-op appointments today but the very best part of my day is that I get to meet some ANAers!!!! I know a person shouldn't be so excited about all this surgery business but I'm so ready to move on and be able to quit guessing and supposing. I can't thank you all enough for all your well wishes and prayers.

Don't forget to take your virtual AN scarf with you! It works just as well as the real thing!

I said a little prayer for you and am confident now that you will do great!

How is it that you will be meeting ANAers?

Post by: joebloggs on March 31, 2009, 08:17:46 am: She's totally going to rock it! I can tell!

I'm also proof it's possible to rock it without the scarf! Besides, meeting real AN'ers rather than virtual AN'ers is like a giant hug all at once, fantabulous! I was slightly excited by the prospect of the surgery, so fear not - the time has come to start the next chapter of recovery.

I will be thinking of you all day (it's the 1st here in Australia already so technically today is your surgery!), we'll see you posting in a week or so oui?!!

I know how you feel about 'just getting on with it' so you can stop playing guessing games and start to move toward recovery, leaving this experience in the past. I felt the exact same way just over 3 years ago.

You'll be in my prayers and my thoughts tomorrow. I think you're going to do just fine. :) We'll be looking for updates and of course, as soon as you're up to it, for you, as a 'postie'.

Back in my rock and roll days, there was a song by the Doors and one line from the song was "Break on through to the oher side!" You are ready to do that now. Good luck and see you on the other side!

Richie and I just got home a short time ago. We were in Boston getting my stitches out, had to be there for noon. After that it was off to a UMass Rehab Center in Worcester, MA. to visit a friend.

You have been on our minds all day as we were in your shoes just two short weeks ago.

WeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll be praying for you, and for a successful surgery tomorrow,

Scarlett & Richie

P.S. Chris, be strong Anissa will be okay! YouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll be in our prayers. Be sure to take care of yourself as well. And remember weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re here you.

You have come a really long way in a very short period of time.

I will be thinking of you.

I hope it's going really well. Actually maybe it's over now. I wish you and your husband and kids well.
I hope you have a quick recovery.
