darn. i hate my new mouse. just wrote up this big long thing about what to do and not to do and feeling guilty for now following my pre-op diet religiously and blah blah blah... Well, I hit the darn side button on my mouse I lost that whole rant... Well, needless to say, the last thing I left with was that should just stop typing because I was freaking myself out.... LOL...

Later! Keep me in your thoughts and/or prayers! surgery is on Saturday and I am on my way to Dominican Republic as we speak...

I am soooooooooooooooo very excited for you, and I hope you are able to text or email me an update. I'll be at our squadron Christmas party on Saturday night, but I'll have my phone with me.

Please be safe in your travels, and enjoy your trip.

Hey Wisconsin Gal-

Wishing you the very best surgery and recovery possible. Let us know how it goes.

GOOD LUCK and God speed!

Ok all, I am giong POST op!!!!

Hi all,

I am through with the surgery and in the hotel. Sweet hotel and excellent room! I will take pics.

I am doing excellent. The hospital staff said I was their best patient all year long (LOL); The doctor said that everything went off without a hitch AND they are even going to give me a DVD of my surgery... Ugh and cool at the same time.

I have a checkup on Wednesday to get the drain out and to double check the stiches. Overall, I think it was a relatively easy recovery for me, so far.

I don't have international cell phone access just yet, but am working with my cousin to get a cell phone with international calls available. For now, if anyone wants to get in touch with me, I am at:

The Domnican Fiesta Hotel $ Casino

Tel: 809-562-8222 (just dial 1-#)

Hotel Room: #438

Otherwise, I will keep up with email.

Later everyone!

Wow, I am jealous! I am so glad it went well. Do you plan on watching the DVD now? I don't know if I would want to see mine....

I plan on watching the DVD much later. I want to be feeling good, have all drains and stitches out and the like before I venture into seeing myself being mutilated!
