IT'S FINALLY MY TURN...I BELIEVE IN THE SLEEVE

Hello, Sleeve sisters and brothers. Well it is finally my turn, I have been lurking the boards gaining encourgement and cheering on all those that have gone before me. I am literally sitting here in Tijauna, Mexico at florence Hospital. Dr Ramos Kelly is my surgeon and so far everything is wonderful and the people are so nice. The facility is a nice and clean. Some of the nurses speak english some don't but there is always one that speaks with the one's that don't. My sleeve sister Kim Lemke is getting her surgery as we speak and I am next. I am strangly calm and I think it is because I have gone through every emotion in the book and as I sit here with the IV in my arm, what else can I do. I have to do it now. Pray for Kim and me as we journey to the winners side. We are all in this together. See you guys soon. I will update as soon as I can.

Peace & Blessings,

Davida
