It's Showtime!

Headed to hospital for surgery at 10am PST. I'm so ready for this next phase of my life!! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous at all, but it's more eager anticipation of how different life will be. Looking forward to eating to to live instead of living to eat, and to be able to be more active with my family. I'd be grateful if you could spare a couple of minutes to say a prayer for me and the surgical team. Thanks so much!! Blessings...xoxo

Thanks everyone!! In the surgery prep area now. The one nurse couldn't get my IV started in either arm. I've never had that problem before and I've had about 5 other surgical procedures before. :-/
