Its finally here...Surgery date..

Well up until today I was doing ok. Today I got my date for the Surgery and the reality of it hit all at once! Anyway they do the stomach surgery on Friday January 25th...Doc says it takes about 4 hours to do and then 6 to 8 weeks of recovery after a 5 to 7 day hospital stay..I have to say I cant remember the last time I was this scared of anything it really is scarry (exept seeing Clammer nude) Anyway Thats the scoop...I hope this ends my problems for good! As long as they dont rig me up like an eel !

the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

You'll be fine, worrying is the biggest battle, dont let it wear you down.

You got Clammer hanging over your bed and you'd better be on 100% oxygen. Good luck.
