I guess I just wanted to say bye for a bit. We are flying out of Los Angeles this afternoon, but have to leave this morning from Ontario(CA) airport on a shuttle, to L.A. My surgery is tommarrow morning with Dr Brownstein. I really can't believe it is finally here. I want to thank so many of you for being so supportive these last 8 months or so. There have been times I felt so alone and this place was here for me to come to. Also I have learned more than I thought I ever could just hanging around here. For those of you who pray I ask for your prayers that all will go well. ;) We will get on a computer somewhere while we are there to check in I hope in a few days. Will you miss me?
Marco
I'll miss you, of course, but with happy thoughts :) because I can well imagine your joy at this long awaited for event.
My wife lost a breast to cancer many years ago and I heard that it hurts but for you I'm sure the pain will be mitigated by your new sense of freedom and acievement.
I'll be thinking good thoughts for you, Marco, CONGRATULATIONS!

Take care bud, and have a wonderful trip, the trip of your life.

Good luck Marco. If it goes as easily as mine did, you'll be up and wandering around SF in a day or two. Don't do what I did and decide to walk up Lombard Street the day after surgery though.
Looking forward to your post-surgery post!

I just talked to Marco and Pam! Marco's surgery was a success. Today was his official day out in Frisco; We've made plans and we'll be meeting this saturday. He sends his regards and best wishes to all of you!
tinkerbell
Hi everyone!!!
We just talked to Tinkerbell!! We are looking forwar to meeting you on Saturday!
I am giving the update, because Marco doesn't feel like typing right now. He isn't taking the pain medication that they gave him, because he doesn't like the way it makes him feel, so he in a little pain.
His surgery went great! The doctor said it couldn't have gone better. He says that Marco will be very pleased with the results. The day of the surgery, he was really groggy and slept most of the day, but yesterday he was much more alert. He didn't go out yesterday, just walked around the hotel room. We are very excited because last night, he started to feel sensation in his right nipple. He hasn't felt the left one yet, but I'm sure that will come. This is his first day out and about. He is doing great!! We get to see his chest for the first time on Friday. He gets his drains out then. We'll see the nipples on Monday...that's when he gets his stitches out.
All is going great!! Thank you, everyone, for the well wishes, thoughts and prayers!!!!
We love you guys and will check in soon!

I am here agian at my computer access for a moment. My drains came out today. The right one did not hurt, but boy did the left one. I felt every inch of him pulling it out. I did not get to see my chest yet, but Pam did, and said it looks totally like a man chest, nipples are very well placed. I kept saying the stitches come out Friday, but I meant to say Monday. Everyday, I am a bit closer. I am very happy. We meet Tinkerbell tomorrow. take care all.
