Surgery Eve

It is the night before everything changes. I've never been subject to physical pain - no broken bones, no surgeries, no need for anesthesia or pain medication (I am not counting wisdom teeth removal). The unknown of what to expect is what is most unsettling. However I am appreciative of all the support. Today my teaching assistants (there are 5 of them) presented me with some gift cards and an electronic sudoku game. Their thoughtfulness has added to the calm and peace from my family's support so I feel pretty good at what I am facing. We'll keep you updated though the next post may be from Tara.
