Released for surgery!

SO after my third visit this month with the psychiatrist, he has released me for surgery. YIPPIE!!  I realize now that it is a good thing that I did not have my surgery earlier. I think if I would have went ahead and had t that I would have ended up having alot of issues.  I feel more prepared emotionally as much as I can at this point. I know that there are going to be hurdles and obstacles that are going to come up after I have surgery and I have decided to continue with therapy after surgery to help me to deal with these on both the physical and emotional side.  I want this surgery to be a success.  I want to be healthy again. Not only for myself but also for my kids and family.  I will tell you that this has been a very emotional process.  I am glad that I am having this procedure done. My surgery date is on the 4th of February.  I start my liquid diet on Monday to prepare for the procedure.  I am a little nervous because my husband will not be here.  He will be out on the ship.  I know he is going to be worried and that is why I am nervous.  My Aunt is going to try to come up to help me out during and after my surgery until my hubby gets home.  I am very excited to start this new chapter in my life. I will finally be able to run and play with my son. I will be able to go to the amusement park with my kids and fit in the seats for the front of the coasters where my daughter likes to ride.  It was so humiliating to be told I had to move to the seat for "bigger" people and then for them to struggle to even get that one closed and buckled.  This is all about to be behind me.  I will start my video blog back up on Monday.  So I ask for your support and words of kindness to help me through this. This will not be an easy journey but I will over come it!
