Angel - Re: Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!

[Guest guest]

Hi Angel!

Hope all went well today! I will definetly keep you in my thoughts today.

I found that waking up afterwards was not bad at all, and I was terrified of it

as well. Even

though I woke up and then puked up blood twice, I was on drugs and I didn't

really

care. Hopefully you have the same experience, but without the throwing up!

Let us

know when you get a chance!
