Counting down the HOURS now!

[MNovalis 93]

No longer counting down the months, weeks or even days. I am sitting at less than 18 hours until the time I have to be at the hospital.........WOW! I think back to when I sat my husband down and told him that I wanted to make this change and he asked me why (not to discourage me, but to hear my honest answer.) I told him I wanted to be healthy, to be able to play in the floor with our grandchildren, to be able to walk without getting out of breath, I TRULY want to grow old with him. He said, "Well then, lets do this!" And he has been AMAZING! So, in the wee hours of tomorrow morning that amazing man and I will travel 2 hours to the hospital to start this new leg of my journey. And even though it is MY journey, I couldn't have done it without his support. I pray that each and every one of you has that kind of support and encouragement in your own journeys.

Well, back to fluids now! :-)

Such an exciting time! I remember the day before my surgery, I was so excited and nervous. Yesterday I drove by the hospital on my way to the mall and thought, 'that place changed my life'.

Best of luck!!

Well, after an overnight stay, I am back home! Trying to walk this dang gas off, Lol! But honestly, it really wasnt that bad. My throat is sore from the breathing tube, so its hard to swallow as much Fluid as I need, but I'll get there in a day or two. I've had a little nausea, but I've used my Lamaz breathing from over 20 years ago and I get through that. No regrets!
