My packet is being sent today

[Guest guest]

I don't post very often, but wanted to let you know that my packet is

sitting here on my desk, waiting for the Fed Ex person to come pick

it

up. I cried when I put everything in there last nite. Taking my

pictures was difficult. My daughter came upstairs in tears after

writing her letter - she said writing that letter of support was one

of the hardest things she's had to do was write about her Mom,

because

she knows how much of a battle weight has been. What a great kid I

have.

Thank you to all of you who were kind enough to be contact people for

me. To those of you who are post-ops - keep posting! Reading your

progress, what you struggle with, etc. is very inspirational to those

of us " in waiting " as well as informative.

If Dr. R approves me, surgery will be in January, 2001. I'll be

driving from Wisconsin - so if anyone would like to share with me

Hotel suggestions, things to do for a day or two, what the weather is

like in January - anything, I'd be very grateful.

Thank You.

PS - I heard about an aircraft carrier that is stationed somewhere in

South Carolina that you can tour. Anyone know about this?
