The Day before surgery

Thinking back to November I did not foresee how I would get to this moment in the journey but I am here!!!  It is a relief and a terrifying moment for me! 

I am finding more and more peace about the surgery but it is now the fact that I will be leaving the girls for a few days that is stressing me.  I know they will be well taken care of by my parents and the friends who are helping them.  I am also realizing that I will not see much of them for over a week since as soon as I get out of the hospital Keith is taking them camping for the week.  This really is not a long time in the scheme of things.

I am packed for the stay at the hospital and for the week after when I am at mom and dad's.  I am taking all of you along with me as I bring the cards and well wishes that have come to me along with your continuous prayers for me.  I have so many wonderful tokens of everyone's support which help remind me I am never alone!  I am also taking with me all the different suggestions I have been given by so many to find peace with the surgery. 

I have prepared all I can!  I went out and got a recordable book from the Hallmark store that I have recorded for the girls so I can still help tuck them into bed even if I am not there.  I have made sure they are packed for the weekend and have a schedule printed out for mom and dad.  Keith and I will have an opportunity to have dinner together tonight alone.  I will cherish this time with him!

I am trying to focus on the fact that when I wake up from the surgery I will have the cancer out of my body finally!  I look forward to having no more cancer in this body which will allow me to be free of this!!

Updates will come as often as we can get them to you!  Thank you for your constant support!
