So I'm starting to get ready.... Started packing, arranging for someone to fishy-sit and garden-sit, my replacement is trained at work, etc.
The next big step was to update the hairdo. It was just a little too short to donate to wigs for cancer kids this time unfortunately... But everyone loves it!
We leave Sunday. Preop is Monday at 8am and surgery is Tuesday. I have to check in by 6am... at least I'm early in the day!
Thanks again for everyone's thoughts and prayers, before and in advance. I'll post an update after surgery as soon as I am able.

Cassandra … I read some of your blog, and saw your "99 Things about me". I don't know about all the traveling you'd like to do … (I like staying close to home), but you have to do #42 and #25 … and #96 smells really bad.
Anyway … We are praying for you. We are just one of your many "friends standing by", and we'll be anxiously waiting to hear about your successes.
Dieu vous bénissent petite soeur.

Well after a 4.5 hour pre-op appt I'm almost ready for surgery! I have an MRI at 6 am tomorrow. Surgery is scheduled for 11 am.
Don't know when I'll be able to update but I will asap.
Thanks to everyone for being my "friends who just stand by". (merci Double J! J'aime beaucoup le poeme!)

Good luck, Toady! I guess you are already through the procedure, by now. I will say a prayer for you. Let us know how it went, as soon as you feel well enough.

I'm a bit of a lurker myself, but I'm really glad you are okay and are feeling better.
