oh my goodness!!!!! this outpouring of love and support is overwhelming!!! debkay is right.. a combination of excitement and terror. i'd be lying if i said i wasn't at all worried!!! but, there have been many many people who have gone before, and the vast majority are doing just great, and that's a tremendous source of courage.

as for my preop weight loss, well, let me tell you that it was nothing i did!!!!! the smarter docs say that correcting the sleep apnea actually got oxygen into my body, and i now have a metabolism. so, my nagging question is, if i just keep going, would i need the surgery???? and my response is that i have yo-yo-ed FOR DECADES, and what makes me think i could actually keep the weight off???

so, off we go.

you ladies are the best. the support you've given peachie and me is just unbelievable. we are lucky, blessed, happy, to know you all.

so, it's a few more weeks of misery, and then my life will be back. now, all i need is a job...

much love... and more news as it happens.

Sweetie Peachie:
Have been thinking of J all day! So glad it is over - the easy part!
Hugs to Jiff but not on the hirting parts. Hope she has good drugs!

As to youg doctors, that happened about the same time that cops and ministers got young! You must have been busy with Raoul!

Default Younger doctors....

All through my growing-up years, my mother wanted to go to a doctor who was older (and wiser) than herself. She and my father are now 84 - enough said....!!!!!
