(OPPS, I hit the wrong key and it went before I was ready! haha) I haven't been a member of the AMOS family for very long, but have been reading the posts every day and you are a most wonderful bunch of people. Thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes. I'll check in as soon as I get back home. Love to you all, and the best of luck to you who are about to have your day. I can't wait to get to the other side. Terri

bTerri here, Hi everyone. I'm just checking in a day before surgery. I can't believe it's tomorrow! I have so many feelings and thoughts I can bearly sit here. My first 'want' is to RUN!! But, I've been doing that all my life, haven't I? It's high time that I stood up for myself and do something that I know will be nothing short of a life saving event. Of course, I say that with butterflies in my stomach and the pain in my very short fingertips, caused from biting my fingernails down to the quik and beyond. I guess I just never thought this day would actually arrive. Now it is here (well, tomorrow)and I just am pretty much freaking out! I really need something, I,m just not entirely sure what it is...anyway, I really hope that you all will say a little prayer for me tomorrow and for my surgical team. I know I could really use the input to the Man upstairs. I know that He'll be with me, I'm just not at all sure what His plans are for me. I just know it'll be for the best, whatever happens. Hopefully I'll wake up and be on top of the world, ready to face whatever comes along and knowing that my little granddaugher will still have her Nana. She's only two and she knows I'm going "away", but, she, of course, doesn't understand the rest. It's going to be hard for me not to be able to pick her up. But, I can stand it for a while, maybe. I know I'll have to. My family is supportive with my decision to go ahead with this surgery, now if they'll just come through for me afterwards, I'll be greatful. I know they will tho. My problem has always been learning when to say "No". I'll have to practice that a lot! I know that I'll have to learn to put myself first for as long as it takes and not feel guilty about it. I just pray that my family can understand fully (as fully as they can) about why I say "no" and why I seem to be "selfish", because I'm putting myself first now instead of them. This is going to be a trying time for us all. But I have every intention of making it through, no matter what. Well, thanks for letting me 'vent'. I haven't been a member of the AMOS
