Hi all, just wanted to let you all know that my daughter's cheer squad finished 8th in the nation!
I'm so proud of her and thank you all for encouraging me to go along with her. It was an experience that I was thankful I didn't miss. Dallas is a beautiful city!! Now, I am less than 5 days from surgery. The trip did keep my mind off pre-surgery blahs, but now that I am back home, reality is once again settling in. I know that I shouldn't be scared or worried, but being through OHS once before, I know what to expect, and that might not be such a good thing. My cardiologist gave me adavan to help my nerves, but it doesn't affect me at all- about like taking a tylenol Anyone else have a better suggestion for calming the nerves pre-surgery or am I just being a "wuss?" I am now going to be so busy taking down and putting away Christmas decorations, maybe that will help. I'm also worried about family support. They say one thing and then don't back up their words with actions. I'm just going to have to sit down with everyone during these next few days and let them know that they've got to pitch in and not expect so much out of me for the next few weeks. After all, I'm not "supermom!!" I also realize that I need some quiet meditation time during these next few days- I know that God will give me the assurance that I need, but I've just been too busy to ask Him for help. So, I will leave you for now and will let you know how things are going about mid-January. Please remember me in you thoughts and prayers. I love you all and thank you for listening to me go on and on. Happy New Year!!
