Hi Missy:

Yes, I will look for you -- and you do the same for me! My boyfriend (Isaac)

and my mom (Allie) will be there with me and my room will be listed as e

(I am hoping for the pediatric ward and that wonderful nurse named Jeff

everyone talks about!!). If you find me then I can tell you what everything is

like, as a POST-OP!!

It is strange, but I woke up this morning and I feel a real sense of peace,

coupled with excitement, and my anxiety is gone! I guess I am mentally " ready "

now, and I feel ready to get this behind me and be " on the other side. " Now,

tomorrow morning right before the surgery I realize things can change!! But, I

do think I am ready and as mentally prepared as I can be for the surgery.

Also, I want to talk to you about town -- Bladen County -- I have some

ties there, too.

As for the supplements, yes I have already bought everything except the

prescription meds, which I will make Isaac get for me tomorrow!! :-) I got

everything (even the optional stuff) because I really want to do this right, and

I want to do everything Dr. R recommends for the best and speediest results. It

was a lot of money spent at GNC, but I figured, heck, I'll be saving at least

that much on groceries!! Also, hopefully you got the Gold Card which gets you

20% off. They also have a women's multi-vitamin that I like a lot, and that is

what I will continue taking after surgery. I am also going to try to stay on

the liquids for the time period that Dr. R recommends.

I am on my way now to the store to get some juices and broth, so my mom won't

have to run out and do that once we return home.

I look forward to meeting you, Missy!

Best / e

MGB 5/25/00 (tomorrow!!!!!!)
