SURGERY DAY!!! - (Surgery at) 12:00 NOON

I cannot believe that it is finally here!! All that waiting and research and checking things out and wondering and consultations and eating birdseed!!!!! It has all finally worked together to bring me to this day! Of course, I am excited and a little nervous, I kind of have butterflies in my stomach and I am feeling a little dizzy from not eating for so many days, but other than that, I am raring to go....pretty much bouncing off the walls....nothing stopping me now! Ed and Mom have been a great support so far on the trip and I know that it will continue after surgery...they are waiting on my hand a foot...such a change for the self-sufficient, independent woman I try to be on a regular basis!!! I'm kind of enjoying the attention though, I have to admit!!!!

Sooooooooooo, here we go. The next time you hear from me I will a little different looking on the inside....or well, my anatomy will be a little rearranged, but I will still be the same Ally...just on a different path!!

Thanks to all of you for your notes of encouragement. I read them over and over every time I log into my blog. They mean so much to me. I read them again this morning and took in every word so that they are what I will be thinking of as I drift away this morning into my blissful sleep during surgery...I know you are all here in spirit and I appreciate that so much.

See you on the flip side!!!
