I was given the all clear from the PS and the internist. My doctor gave me a list of all the possible side affects and complications and assured me that this was very rare. I feel confident that he is telling me the truth. The rest is up to me now. The checks have been written (ouch) and the appointments have been made. Now I have to get my mental state straight. One of my children are travelling on the day of my surgery for an overseas class so that is waying heavy on my mind as well. Well that's it for now. Thanks for listening. I wish an easy healing to all you tt vets!

It all starts this week. I go to see my PS on Thursday for my preop visit and Friday I go to see an internist for a physical and clearance for the surgery. My apprehension is becoming excitement but I am still really scared of the recovery. All the swelling, not fitting into my clothes, watching what you eat, what is the best therapy to use on the scar and the thoughts go on and on. I have been preparing my husband as well. If anyone wants to talk me out of it, do so now! And here we go, 19 days and counting!

Well the count down is down to 5 weeks. Sounds like alot of time. But it feels like its coming up pretty quickly. My emotions still waiver but excitment is starting to blend in. I cant beleive its really happening, after all I have only been considering it for 15 years or so. I have been reading your comments and admiring your pictures. You all seem to be coming along so well. I know you have had your battles but you are all of the same opinion that it was worth it. Thanks for that. Keep healing, you look beautiful.

Wow, it will seem like an eternity to wait til' the 4th of May, but before you know it...you will be out of surgery and recovering. Take care of yourself and stay strong.

Thanks for sharing your story. Time does fly, it seems like yesterday I booked my surgery. I have been running around like crazy getting supplies, cleaning the house. As for your trip, your ps is your best person for advice. I was scheduled to go out of town and was told for the first 4 weeks they want me to stay local.
