Greetings from Minnesota! Despite the weather, we made it here in about 6 hours. We are now at our hotel and our first appt is at 10am Monday. That is for blood test and a chest x-ray, then we see the surgeon at 1pm. As of now, I am getting admitted Tuesday morning at the crack of dawn, but am not sure if that will change after I see the doctor. Right now I still can't believe this is going to happen in less than 2 days. I can feel that my nerves are starting to kick in, and I am sure by tomorrow (Monday) it will be even more so. I do have faith in the doctors and I know God will be watching over me,keeping me safe. I don't think I have ever had so many people praying for me, and I am so grateful for that. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and think that has helped me pull through thus far. I wish I had the time to tell each one of you how much you mean to me. My friends and family are the best a person could have. I dont know how I wouldget though this without each and every one of you. I love you all and you all have a special place in my heart (and I made sure that those special places are not being replaced during this surgery!!!) Anyhow, all jokes aside, I want to thank you. Thank you for being here for me,listening to me, helping me and my family and for keeping my spirits up when I am down. I pray that this surgery goes smoothly, that my recovery is uneventful and that I will be able to run around and share many more fun times with all of you. Thank you.
I am not sure if I will be able to update again before surgery,but I will try. Otherwise,Vito will be posting updates after my surgery until I am able to again. Good night and love to all....
