Lobster Sara..

[Guest guest]

Hi Lobster Buddy,

We are like 2 peas in a pod with our lobster selves..(haha)

I can't believe I got this much sun. I was just chillin out

listening to my music and reading in a partly shaded area of my

deck. I didn't start turning red until late last night. Maybe I

will not show as much bruising now..(haha)

No, I am clueless as to exactly what the OS is going to be doing. I

will just wait until he fills me in before surgery. I've waited

this long, what's another 16 or so more hours...(haha)

I am sure at the hospital there are going to be times I will start

chuckling for no reason other than remembering some of the stories

everyone has shared with me on this board. I just sure hope I don't

get stuck in a room with a bunch of irritating guys like you, unless

they are cute..(haha) Actually, my OS is so cute and he is going to

see me tore up from the floor up tomorrow..(haha) I am going to

have to pull a sheet over my head when he walks in to check on me..

(haha)

I am off of here and will be with my fav buddy on the other side

soon! Make way cause here I come!!
