This is it! I will be leaving soon to go to the hospital for my surgery. I have to say that I don't care for the feeling of my armpits and my flab all sticking together because of the lack of being able to use deodorant, lotion, and powder. Further more, I REALLY don't like not being able to drink some water and take my medicine, and I am truly hoping my blood sugar doesn't get out of whack because I can't eat anything. I late surgery time pretty much stinks.
With that out of my system, I am so glad that it is finally going to happen. I am excited about what it will be like in a couple of months... and a bit anxious about what it will be like for the next week. My hubby is a bit of a basket case because he is worried about my healing process (not to mention the surgery itself). I really appreciate all of the prayers that have been said for us. I know that God has a hand in all of this.
I probably won't be posting for a while, but I know I will have a ton to say once I have my wits about me!

Day 150 something!
Ha! I just counted out the days, and before I could write it down my son came in and talked to me. So, yes, it is day 150 something!
I know I haven't posted in quite a while. I spent the summer doing some terrific things that rejuvenated me in so many different ways! I am here today to fill you in on my journey before I actually have my surgery in a few days!
I found out that I do, indeed, have sleep apnea. I have made the adjustment to using a CPAP at night (even though the mask still gets on my nerves at times!). I can't believe how much better I sleep now! I used to get up so many times during the night just to go to the bathroom, and now I sleep all the way through without getting up even once. What a difference! I am no longer exhausted when I wake up. YAY!
All of the other tests came out great. I do have to say that it having the patience to wait for a surgery date was pretty aggravating. I wanted so much to have everything done before the new school year started so I wouldn't miss any time with my students. As it is, I spent a week with them, and now I will be off for a month to have my surgery and recover. I have an amazing sub, and I know everything is working out just how God has intended.
Over the summer I also got a new tattoo. It is on my left shoulder. It is a lotus with a butterfly on it. It signifies the changes I am going through. My priorities have been changing. My eating habits are changing. And now, finally, I feel like my body will be catching up to those changes. I realize it will be difficult, but it will be so worth it.
Am I nervous? A little. I mean - they WILL be cutting my insides apart. My excitement outweighs my nervousness, though. I wonder if I will still feel the same a day, a week, or even a year from now. Only time will tell!
