I have been having trouble sleeping..Mom says it's because I am thinking and stressing to much about next week. I don't know, but not even Tylenol PM is helping. I wake up about 2:30 or 3:00am and then it takes me forever to fall asleep again. Then I get up at 5:45am to get to work by 7am. ARGH!!!
I am getting a little nervous.. I'm not worried about the surgery, just what comes after. Lot's of people have told me that the surgery won't be too bad, but the depression will be! I can't imagine it being worse than thinking about this stupid cancer in my body now!!
I was invited to join the Pink Cowgirls (Thanks Rene) . The administrator of the group, Runi, sent me a message that she would bring me a camisole or pockets to hold my drains post surgery....WHAT!!??? I hadn't even thought about that. I guess it is kind of like the drain that Abel had last year after his cancer surgery that was to 'suck' the fluid out of the pocket left by the tissue they remove. So thanks Runi!
Some of you had email me offering to bring meals by after my surgery (THANK YOU FOR THAT), so my friend Barb Edwards asked me to let everyone know, if you wanted to bring meals by you can follow the information below to sign up. Thank you :D

I know it's scary, and very tiring. Smile to yourself, take a deep breath, and find somewhere to close your eyes and relax as best as you can. When I was where you were, I had a hard time too.
I had a survivor I was able to call day or night via http://www.thecancerconnection.org/. It was nice to know I had a trained peer I could talk to about my fears. I also loved having Pink Ribbon Cowgirls. I'm glad you're with them.
I'm going to bring you something pink and kick ass tomorrow, because you are a warrior. Grrrrr. :o)
You are so sweet. I think I am going to go lay down..didn't feel very well this afternoon.
Thank you my friend!
