dear tomorrow.... thank you for only being a day away...

Well – I am officially done all my “pre” appointments. 3 appointments last week and 2 this week – and finally the D&C tomorrow. I feel super emotional about it. To be honest, I actually can’t put into words how I am really feeling. I will say that it has been a LONG three weeks. I can’t wait till this part of the journey is behind us.

I am usually pretty good at holding back tears when I need to, and yesterday I was so embarrassed because I started crying at my “pre-op” appointment.
Then today I had to go see my family Dr, for a physical and health history, and I was so “strong” telling her the entire story; but as soon as she said “how are you and your husband dealing with all of this?” I couldn’t hold back the tears. Just when I thought there were no tears left to cry - I cried my entire drive home.

My dr. also decided to give me a Tetanus shot. I’ve given myself countless needles this year…and this one defiantly hurts the most! The shot was near my shoulder, and I can feel the tingle all down my arm and in my hand (it even hurts to type) Dr. said it will “only” hurt for a few days…phew ;)

My surgery is at 3pm tomorrow. No food or drink from midnight tonight –eek! How will I survive with out my morning tea???? I have to go to the hospital at 1pm and get hooked up to IV. Then wait 2 hours – and go in for the surgery.
Please pray that everything goes well tomorrow!

On the bright side – K found a Christian radio station online –and I love it! We only have one Christian radio station here – and most of the time it is “talk radio” - so I am excited about this discovery. (It is www.wbgl.org for anyone interested)

Also another “bright side” is that my husband K and I got to stay at a hotel for a “very mini vacation” last night. We live near Niagara Falls, and every year they do a fundraiser called “Sleep Cheap Niagara”
They offer the best hotel rooms for the cheapest prices – and all money is donated to charities. We got to stay in a “Fallsview” Jacuzzi suite with a fireplace – free drinks and snacks last night, and a full "made to order" breakfast this morning! We decided that next year we will both take the morning off so we can sleep in and enjoy everything a little longer. It was so great to spend time away together, just the two of us – not talking about or thinking about clinics, Dr’s, RE’s, OB’s, appointments, surgeries, etc. We just left all of that stuff “at home” for the night. It was so fun!

Here is a picture of the falls from our room…

This is the Canadian side:


And especially for all my American readers (most of you) - this is the American side:


I’ll probably write again on Friday – I will be too drugged up tomorrow! Thank you for all your prayers and support. I can’t even express how much it means to me!!!!
