Get to sit on the bench tomorrow.
Wow and overhwhelming is all i can say. It has been a heck of a rollercoaster ride the last two and a half years. I have made some of the best friends in my life through this process and met and talked to so many different people who I may never have come into contact with if not going through this process. I want to take this time to thank every single one of you out there even some of you who have no idea who I am you have helped me. I am so glad that the Hospital decided when it was best for me to be having the operation as opposed to when I decided it must be best. I have had some extremely frustrating experiences along with some very elating ones as well. I only hope that I will never ever take this gift I am being for granted I want to always cherish this gift and protect it. So many of you have helped me far too many to say names on here. I have also made one extremely special supportive friend who has been there for me through thick and thin in the last nine months I have known her, never judging simply supporting and kicking me in the butt when I need it. For anyone who may be doubting this process or frustrated and wanting to give up keep pushing on it works. If something bad should happen to me tomorrow I know that I did everything possible to becoming a healthier me. Move on over and make some room for my soon to be smaller butt on the bench. Thank you all again and see you soon. Tomorrow is the first day of the start of my new healthier life. Cheers (Optifast Clink) Bottoms up . :-)
