I know that you don't want to be let down again. But this is going to change

your whole life. Even if, which I doubt this would happen, your surgery was

postponed once again for some reason, it doesn't matter. I know you are so

close that you just want to get it over with. But once you do have it, it will

change your life. It will change the way you look at things. It will change

some of things that you think. You will look at your life in a whole new way,

for a much longer life of course. I know it is hard to try not to think about

the here and now, especially when things don't go as planned. But think about

the future and how wonderful it will be once your surgery is completed. What

got you excited the first time your surgery was scheduled? Think about all

those things. This is a privilege to have this surgery and it is worth all the

work and wait, at least for me. As I have said before, everything happens for a

reason and a lot of times we don't understand why it happens.

This is going to be great for you as it has been for all of us.

Take care and keep me up to date on how you are doing.

Bonita,

Thank you so much for your post, it really really helped me look at things

different. I had been telling alot of friends about the surgery and telling them

the military insurance is one of the easiest to deal with for getting approval

and not listening to what i was saying. I almost feel like i can get excited

about this again, this is the best i have felt about this since Aug 13th, again

thank you so much. I guess that is why i joined this grou, i knew someone would

have gone thru something silimar and been able to give some advice to help me

get back on track,

I appreciate all the repies to my post, Wow now looking at thigns i go in for

pre op in 13 days then surgery in 25 days. Now after feeling this way and you

guys helping me i know i have to stay here ( i had almost quit the group) I know

you all will be here thru thick and thin.

Take care all , have a great day

I know i will now

Patty, Maybe not being excited is good, at least you are calm and

maybe able to sleep better than being excited and not being able to

concentrate. I know it is tough when you have something set in your

mind but it will be better with your husband home to help you, the

first week is not as easy as I thought it would be. No pain, just

wiped out.

Have a beautiful fall day
