surgery on Monday 2/29

    Good luck and best wishes. My surgery is tomorrow!! Can't believe it's finally here. Not nervous yet. Still kinda surreal. I'm sure my nerves will kick in about the time I'm getting to put my lovely hospital gown on. Lol. Hope you all do well. Praying for fast recovery and minimal pain. See y'all on the losers bench.
