The Night before

Hello friends,There was a cancelation in the surgery schedule for Monday (tomorrow)and they offered it to me, so I guess I get these bad boys outtomorrow bright and early. I'm a bit nervous, but mostly I'm relievedbecause I thought I was going to be on a waiting list for a few moremonths.Since I had breast cancer and a mastectomy on one side, I decided togo ahead and get a gluteal flap reconstruction (they take someflesh/fat from my butt and use it to rebuild a breast). The surgerywill be about 8 hours long. I went around and around on whether to doany reconstruction at all, but I decided to give it one last try. Ithink it's kind of ironic that I didn't go the route of reconstructingusing my own flesh at the time of my mastectomy 2 years ago, because Ithought the implants proceedure was so much easier..........Wow, did Imake the wrong choice! Well I hope this might

mark the end to all ofthis horrible RA, Sjogren's, etc.Thanks for all the wonderful advise. Keep it coming! I don't think aday goes by that I don't learn something new from all of you.God Bless you all,Tammy (a)
