Hi all,

Just wanted to post some thoughts this evening as I see the days rushing by now. I can't believe its nearly here and to put a finer word on it, I am soooooooooo "excited." It seems a little strange to say that. How can I be so excited about a major elected surgery and yet that's what I feel. I can't wait for the next days to fly by.

I have a friend also in hospital as I write who as just had her surgery on Wednesday and I phoned her yesterday and I felt so excited for her too, crazy I know, I was like a teenager on the phone to her asking all these questions and saying over and over again, I so happy for you, I could burst." I feel kind of jealous too as she's had hers and I have to wait a few more days. Weird I know.

Well I've bought most of what I was told to bring and I've got all my travel arrangement made. I will be leaving home a week on Monday and my surgery will be on the 15th. As I said before they had put me back two days but at least its almost here. I am a little worried about the actual operation though and a little nervous but I suppose lots of people get nervous over things like that. I will be so glad to feel normal for once in my life and once the healing has taken place to just get on with my life.

I have never ever in my life felt so happy and my life is sooooooooo much better now I can't believe that even before surgery I am aware of how much I needed this to feel whole.

Any way I don't want to bore all you girls and boys but I was bursting to write something on my journey towards surgery. I will keep you all up to date as the days go by and through the surgery. I suppose its a kind of blog. I expect to freak out on the day but just right this minute I am so excited, (did I mention that, lol).

hugs to all

Aww ''Stardust'' we'll be both having surgery on the same day. I'm happy for you and excited ;D. It's kinda a weird feeling, for months I've seen other tickers go down and down. Now mines is in days :o it's kinda excited and very nervous. I have butterflies in my stomach :P. I look forward hearing all about your surgery, when I come back.

Hi everyone,

Yeah, the days are going so fast. I came home from work today and then went out with a friend who asked me how I felt. We had dinner together and I was still so excited and I talked so much we nearly missed the film at the cinema we were going to see, the new Shrek film. It was really funny. I will not see her again until I have had my surgery so she's going to come and see me when I'm out from hospital.

My feelings seem to be still one of excitement and I'm really, really looking forward to this. My worries are like any other, for instance what if something goes wrong, ie, fistula, the clitoris dying, DVT, etc, etc. Yet I am still excited.

I have four more days of work this week and then I pack and leave Monday week. I still need to finalise all my packing and I still have some things to buy like the large amount of kitchen roll to put on my towels when I begin dilating. I am staying with another friend for a month before coming home so I need to have everything I need for six weeks.

As you can guess things don't run smoothly and my car developed one of those annoying emission faults that produce a number of codes that it could be so my car had to go into the garage on Friday and they wanted to keep it over the weekend and Monday to repair it. Thankfully it is being done under grantee.

Anyway, keep you posted.

And just think, all that happiness you feel now will be multiplied times a thousand once it's finally over! There is no feeling like it in the world. I'm so happy for you dear, I wish you all the best! :)
