Happiness

Today is the big day, March 7th at 1pm. I literally have these intense feelings of bliss, happiness, and a good kind of anxiousness.

I went from being completely paranoid about the anesthesia to getting over that fear. Not completely but for the most part. And I now I am just so grateful for all the support I have and all that I have learned from this forum. I feel so completely READY. The first day I came onto this site a girl wrote to me and said girl enjoy your journey and omg what amazing words.

This has been such a journey so far and I just feel endless gratitude for the good and the bad. I was literally in the hospital having a panic attack two weeks ago to hysterically crying to a friend about my biggest fears to now being so happy.

Thanks for all the support and nice words and story sharing.

See you all on the other side.

Hi all, it went really well but I did not expect to be in this much discomfort. My chest is just killing me. My surgery was at 1 and they won't let me drink anything until 9. My mouth is so dry. Can't lie I am hating life right now
