7 hours until surgery!!
« on: February 10, 2013, 09:18:08 pm »
Well, in about 7 hours I will be in surgery. I'm taking deep breaths and saying my prayers. Thank you all for your support and prayers. I look forward to being on the other side of this journey.

I am glad the waiting will be over soon. Tomorrow at this time you will be post surgery and there will be no more anxiety. Good luck. A lot of posters here will be thinking of you.
