Well, here I am with my date for surgery and it's a lot further away than I had hoped but scheduled nonetheless. My date is July 3rd, 2013. I have my PreOp class on June 18th. They gave me two dates in June but both coincided with my sister's pregnancy dates (baby shower and birth) and since my mom will be taking care of both of us (in two different states) I waited on mine until July. It's not as quick as I had hoped but I'm glad it's scheduled and I'm on my way :-)

Blessings,

Chris

Thanks for all the prayers today!!! I am officially on the Losers Bench!! I am sitting in a chair and about to go walking with the nurse. It went well and I am glad to be on the other side now!!!

Congrats!

I received a call from the surgery scheduler today and they switched my date again. Only this time they moved me up a week!!! I am now set for July 23rd!

Well, it's 4:15am and I feel like I may throw up! I have to be at the hospital by 6am. Surgery is slotted for 8:30am. I'm feeling week and wondering if I'm making the right decision. It's going to be a tough a morning.
