Got the date confirmed...Thoughts and feelings coming on strong now.

Finally the Feb.25th 2011 date they threw out there at me stuck and was confirmed yesterday. There will be a few extra folk in the room...My Surgeon,an assistant,another Doctor from NY,and this cat that will be a "Proctor" for the surgeon. Yay! A Party!!! Oh well, whatever! I wouldn't care if the whole dang hospital staff,their friends and a group of folk from the cafeteria were in there as long as it all goes well and I get through the day.

I figure if I can get a good result from all these folks then I can take it from there and pull this whole life change gig off. I'm excited,scared,anxious and a little dizzy from all the twists and turns my head takes through the day,but my heart is strong and up for anything that gets thrown my way. I'm not a person that gets scared and runs, but I can see how some people can get to a place where they would re-consider this choice.All through this process I have had times where I have had to call upon some serious inner strength just to get to the next step and I now get just what it means to "Breath and Keep Going" ! ! !

To all of us that have found that inner strength and used it to take another step in the right direction..."CONGRATULATIONS!!"

We can do this and we can do what it takes to get to the other side of it too. Keep breathing,keep walking the healthy path,keep up ALL the Good Work!!!
