Here we go…
Well…today is pre-op and tomorrow is the BIG day. I check into the hospital tomorrow morning at 8am and surgery is scheduled for 10am. I’m on clear liquids today and nothing after midnight tonight. I’m really hoping that I won’t be awake at that hour. I had to get up at 2:30 this morning to take my mom and her bff to the airport so that they could go to their 40th class reunion in Michigan. Yes, my mom is going out of state while I’m undergoing a major surgery. In fact, I asked her to go. Why you ask? Well, let’s just say, I’m supposed to be as calm as possible during the next 24 hrs and that just can’t be accomplished with my mother here. She tends to raise my bloodpressure just a tad. So off she went, but of course her bff forgot her precious cell phone behind and now I’m having to overnight it to her. I have a UPS account, so not big deal, but she didn’t know the address as to where she’ll be staying, so I have to wait until she calls me and gives me the shipping information before I can send it to her. I also was awake enough at 3 something this morning to get her credit card information to pay for this little mishap, considering it’s going to cost about $45 to ship it Next Day Air! OUCH!
Anyway, I had a GREAT time visiting with my bff while he was here! Jason & I really miss having him around and wish that we all lived closer, but I’m not willing to move back to Dallas to make that happen. So, we settle for the visits when we can get them. We did manage to get a really good photo of the two of us while he was here though (thanks to my wonderful hubby for his photography skills).
I wish I had more time today to sit and chat with everyone, but unfortunately I don’t. In just a moment I have to run some errands (bank, DMV, store, etc) in preparation for being out of the loop for a few weeks. I did want to say thank you to all of you who’ve shown your support and shared kind words with Jason & me during this trying time. We appreciate it very much.
As for my Jason, well…you know I love you more than I could ever express…but just in case you’ve forgotten, I love you baby.

I wish you all the best with your surgery, and here’s to a quick recovery! Sorry to hear about your mom’s cell phone mishap – - I hope she gets the shipping info to you soon so it will be one less thing you need to think about. I hope she has fun at her reunion.
Love the picture! Cheers!!
I’m thinking and praying for all of you!
