Today is the start of my new life, the new me. I have surgery scheduled at 9:30am. Like I've posted before I'm not scared or nervous about surgery or being put to sleep. I'm just ready for this. I just wish I didn't have to go alone. That's the part that I'm having a hard time dealing with. Everyone is either working or just can't go. Other then that I'm super excited, I just need to make sure I don't forget anything for my "hospital" stay.

Congratulations on the big day. I hate that you're alone there, but I know you'll do great. I wish you a speedy recovery, and don't forget to keep us posted.

We've got your spot ready on the loser's bench.

Oh, by the way...I was alone in the hospital too. My cousin dropped me off, because my gf Val, had to work an hour away.

It wasn't bad at all, the nurses and surgical staff are great, and you are tired and sore, and just wanna relax.

Order the TV, walk, sip, and REST!! You'll be home before you know it!!

Hugs,
Boo
