Final meeting with Dr. Maynard
Jul 22, 2008
Well, my husband & I met with Dr. Maynard today and went over everything. Signed and initialed my life away! Ha ha The funny part was that I found out my surgery is 7/28 NOT 7/29! The first time a date was given it was the 29th but it changed and I just didn't notice it in the email from the office. How stupid did I feel having to tell work and everyone else that I had the date wrong!?! I will be Dr. Maynard's second patient at AMC, hopefully everything will go smooth.
A friend that has had this surgery thru the same doctor told me that she sat down and wrote goodbye letters to her husband and children. I've been thinking about it but keep putting it in the back of my head. I don't know if I'm going to do it or not, I'm already emotional enough! On one hand it seems like a nice way to have the last word (ha ha) but on the other it's like I'm saying I might not make it. I know that's a possibility but I just want to be positive, not realistic, right now.
Well I'm rambling, it's time to stop. I can't believe that in six days I'll be having surgery! WOW!

It's hard to believe that I'm a little over a week away from my DS surgery. To say I'm a nervous would be an understatement. I've never had major surgery, not even a broken bone! I keep telling myself that surgery is the easy part, what about the rest of my life! Can you tell my minds been racing? 
Anyway! My fears are relieved when I think about the support backing me up. I couldn't ask for better family and friends who are as excited as I am about this! My husband is the greatest. He comforts me when I am worried and encourages me with his support. God blesses me each day with my family and friends.
Well that's all for now. This is my first blog. I just wanted to share a little about what I was feeling. I look forward to writing more through this journey.
