Pokerkitty, I was just thinking about you and your surgery on Tuesday a little while ago. Talked to my husband about it. This is all going to be over before you know it. It will take some time to recover as with any surgery and maybe some time to get used to. You will prob go through a few different emotions about it before it's finished, but nothing out of the ordinary for what you are going through. And I know you are going through it. Just don't forget it will be finished. Chin up, positive attitude, some rest, lots of NDN, maybe even get babied a bit. I am with ya, my prayers are with ya and you know where to find me. Every one here is with ya obviously. So hang in there baby..... and as soon as you feel up to it, get back here. Thank God for all things especially lap tops!

Lots of Love,
Lori

Well people, this time tomorrow I will be coming out of surgery. The general surgeon will be working on me for two hours and the plastic surgeon will working on me for 3 hours. It's going to be hell. I will wake up with two little bumps where two big mounds used to be. It's going to be strange. I will have to wear two drains, under my boobs that look like grenades. Once they stop draining then I go in and have them removed. Some women it takes one week, some women it takes over a month. I hope I'm one of the lucky ones. Lymth nodes (spelled wrong I'm sure) will be removed from the right side only, not the left. For the rest of my life I have to have all blood work and blood pressure taken from my left arm because if they do it on the right my arm will swell up too much. For the rest of my life when I fly, I have to use air compression sleeves to keep my arms from swelling up. Sound like a ton of fun. My surgery is at 1:30 tomorrow. I have been having terrible allergies all day today. My nose feels like its going to fall off. I hope that doesn't hurt anything for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting it done and over with. My last day of work was Thursday and my co-workers and members threw me a party. Everyone wore pink. One of the men showed up entirely in pink, even his shoe laces. They had beautiful pink cakes and strawberry cakes. The lemonade was pink. Pink flowers all over the courtyard. They gave me a breast cancer awareness cap and everyone had already signed it. There must have been at least 60 people there. They gave me six weeks off work and I may have more if needed. Candler Hill Golf Club in Ocala, FL is full of great communities who take care of their own. They took me under their wing. Awesome people!!! By New Years Eve, I should be put back together...I should be skinnier, have new hair and big new boobs. Can't wait for 2010 and I can't wait to kiss 2008 and 2009 out of my life. I've had two rough years and very much looking forward to the future. I do have a myspace page and a facebook page for anyone who is interested. My name as you know is Pokerkitty6 and my email is Pokerkitty6@cox.net. For myspace you have to use my old email poswell@tampabay.rr.com. I should be online alot in the next six weeks. Take care and I'll talk to ya'll soon. Don't forget to say a prayer for me tonight.
