Thank you both Susan and Maggie...good things to think about. I'm doing better than I was this morning. I am taking a teddy bear that was given to me to snuggle with when I'm sick and I'm also taking the prayer shawl that was given to me this morning by someone who I'd only talked to on the phone once...yesterday. It was a very touching meeting and the prayer shawl was made by the woman who I met (although her church has a prayer shawl ministry) and it's one of my favorite colors...a dark olive/pine green. It's like it was meant just for me. Made me cry.
About losing part of me, I made peace with the fact that I can't have children a long time ago so losing my uterus is okay by me. Just get the cancer OUT. Take whatever they want...GET IT OUT! ALL OF IT!!!
Just finished the *fun* bowel prep and am getting my daily exercise RUNNING (no jogging for me...no siree) to the bathroom.
May still be able to call later Maggie....right now we are waiting to hear from the hospital about what time my surgery is tomorrow.
