5 Days Left - Staying Positive

A Positive outlook brings Positive results. That's my motto!

People keep asking me, 'If you're still sick on the day of the surgery, will they reschedule or postpone?'. Right now I need to do this one day at a time. And I will deal with that if and when it comes up.

I'm at work today, with alot of hesitation, trying to fight a migraine right now and not really winning the battle. I've been given a recommendation to stay home tommorrow and I think I will listen. It's really hard when you're leaving your work behind, work that you pride in and have spent many hours learning and molding it into something that works for me. I'm one of the lucky ones that can say that I actually do like my job. It's challenging, yet not overly demanding. It allows me to keep a flexible life for my work and my family...whatelse can you ask for?

I feel calm and relaxed today. Feeling the support all around me from friends and co-workers. The rooting and cheering that everything will be just fine. I've been meeting so many wonderful ladies from Obesity Help that are experiencing the same feelings I have been. It's really comforting to know that you're not the only one going through this.

I feel prepared and ready for the surgery. I'm looking forward to the liquid diet as it will be the first step to cleansing my system before my rebirth...before the new me emerges.

Thanks to all who have taken the time to send me notes, pass on words through Geoff and to those who also remain quiet but somehow and for reason I know I am a thought tucked in their minds and are wishing me good luck.

Cheers for now.
