Yup, less than 48 hours and 8 miles from My Day.

This time is much different than the first date, a little over a year ago. No fear, eager to be fully me, and get on with my life.

I want to thank my therapists, friends, and Susan's people for getting me here. Wow! I <3 you all!

Thank you!

Doing great emotionally, but dammit woke up this morning with sinus crud and a sore throat...any advice on how to fix this? I suspect it's the change in weather, from cold and rainy Seattle to warm and dry Arizona...

ETA: A small bowl of oatmeal and a glass of apple juice helped a lot... :)

It will clear out quickly Beth Andrea. Needless to say I didn't have the drainage issue I have up here down there so it should clear quickly. A good hot shower probably would help too I suspect. Hugs

Thanks Dena...yes, especially after I got up and was moving around...it may have been this super comfy bed with nearly new sheets at the "AirBnB" we're staying at.

Best wishes Beth!!

We'll keep the cold rainy weather up here in Seattle and away from Phoenix.  You are going to do great, and it sounds like you are in good hands. :)

Done with the pre-op with Dr. Ley, got my goodie bag and instructions! I have 22 hours to go!

It's a good thing they don't make the bag out of anything edible...

On a gurney with heating tube, iv, and nurses orbiting around me and Stacie!

Pretty tired, but in good spirits!

About 2 hours to go... :)



ETA: No, 1.5 hours from now (1030am mountain time).
