I found that, for me, once I had made "The decision", I immediately felt not quite so exhausted. I felt much lighter of spirit and soul as if a great weight had been lifted.

Great reading. Thanx!

I'm a worrier by nature, so once the decision and approval happened...it made things even more real.

I'm still working to prepare for the way to "let it go" in terms of the fears that come with the surgery itself, but I'm also working on making lists for what I'm looking forward to and mapping out how I'm going to document my journey.

Those two things are really helping me keep it in perspective and to try and feel better about what's to come.

Great article, thanks for sharing.

I am able to relate to this only too too well, and I can say I'm still working my way out of it.

@@Inner Surfer Girl thanks for the article - and the site! I hadn't seen that before. I also often check out tiny buddha - here is a good article I read recently.
