The Surgery, Finally!

I never thought today would come, but alas it has! I'm headed to U of P Hospital with Chip & Eli for 8:45 a.m. lumpectomy surgery.We have to leave here at 7 a.m. Originally I was told the surgery would be late in the day, like 4, but it got moved up. I was planning to chillax in the morning, sleep late, putter, but my plans ran amuck. Wow I've never used amuck in a sentence before and also I know I did not spell that right. See what not having coffee can do to a gal? So off we go....

I feel like this is the next stop on my journey. And in a way a different beginning....this I guess is kind of the easy part...I'm trying not to think about step two yet...one thing at a time...

My two sisters Trudy & Lisa are coming, and our good friend Nance will take Eli to a museum & do some stuff with him for a few hours....I'll try to get some pics, maybe you'll get to see me in my pre-op get up, now wouldn't that be dandy?

    Annie,
    I just heard that your surgery got moved up so I assume you are out by now! I have been thinking and Praying for you all day - somehow I had NO meetings today, so you've been on my mind alot. I Love you Sis and I know there are hundreds if not thousands of other women and children (and men) out there that do too!
    I can't wait to talk to you soon.
    Love #6

  5. Hi Annie, been praying all day - hope all went well and that you are getting your rest. Glad your team was bright eyed and bushy tailed and that you didn't have to fast all day! So looking forward to seeing your smiling face and knowing you are on the road to healing... God's bigger than all of it and He's got your back, girl!!!
