Tomorrow's Surgery!
« on: August 18, 2013, 09:28:35 pm »
Well, tomorrow is the day. Hopefully all goes well and recovery also. I wanted to stay up all night as I have to leave at 4am but I am getting pretty sleepy and set my alarm just in case! I am trying to pack my bag and not sure what all I should take... any help?? Thanks!

Doubt you will see this before surgery, but good luck today, Derika,  Right now, you are probably blissfully asleep while your surgeons delicately remove all of the tumor.  Best wishes for a successful operation and a speedy recovery.  Look forward to hearing how you are doing.

Thinking of you today and believing all is well!!!

Some things in my life need to matter less, and other things in my life need to matter more.  So yes, I'm taking this as a "lesson learned experience."

You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Since we have the same doctors, I will be anxiously waiting for your update when you are feeling up to it.

Take Care,
