Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

  • Hello all, I hope you all had successful surgeries and are well on your way to your goals and dreams. You guys have made me cry with your kindness and my wife has been very thankful for the support

I'm home now. No real pain, just a little sore. I feel full just trying (won't succeed today) to take in the minimum amount of protein drinks and water. So far, so good!

So, it's 0457 and I have slept all I am going to sleep, still tired but way too wound up to go back to bed. Honestly I am shocked I got as much sleep as I did. So in a scant 6 hours I will be under the knife, closing one chapter of the book of life and opening a new one. Honestly, the last chapter was so full of heartache and sorrow, I do not miss seeing it go. I am now fixated on the future. WIsh me well.

@@winklie you are going to go to sleep the old you and wake to a whole new life ahead of you. It is like we are being given our "do-over". There are so many things that I can't wait to do!!! The first is I want to let my daughter take me on a tour of her college campus. She has been there 2 months now and all I have seen us her dorm room because I get too winded to walk more then that!! I can't wait to hear all the things you are excited about doing! Just keep you eye on the prize!
