Tomorrow's the big day - I report to the hospital at 5 am (who comes up with these horrendous times?) for my surgery at 8 am.  I'm only freaking out a little bit.  (Lots of deep breathing.)  I'm doing this...

It's real - I tried to start a blog (can't see that it shows up anywhere, but I'm probably doing something wrong), something new for me.  I've tried various forms of journeling and have never ...
