9am tomorrow...

So tomorrow is the big day. Have to be at the hospital by 9 and surgery is at 11.

It's finally hitting me.

After years of trying. Years of the doctor telling me to go trough with this surgery and never having the strength to say I can't do this on my own... It's finally here.

I'm so nervous I've broken down crying so many times I've lost count.

I have a great support system but I'm scared if I can do this. Will I fail? Will I awake in the recovery room? Will I be able to make it mentally through the next few months as my body transitions and my mind wraps around the fact that I can never go back to how I was. Will I like, even love, the new me?

Sorry for the venting.. I just need to get this off my chest.

Fingers crossed everything goes okay.. Fingers crossed I can keep my mind in the right mind set.

Here goes... New year new me.
