Although I have chosen to have this surgery, I am terrified of Tuesday. As you may recall, I have previously had four surgeries and four times, something went wrong. (A few of those times, several somethings.)
I worry about:
- going under general anesthesia
- getting an infection
- needing another blood transfusion
- not healing properly and developing necrotic tissue
- being in pain
- being unable to care for myself
- the results of the surgery being disappointing
- the surgeon accidentally happening upon another, previously unnoticed, tumor
- my children
- Scott trying to work while caring for an invalid wife
- depression
There are a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head. Most of them are not pleasant.
Please pray that it all goes well.

I love that ours is a Tradition of Hope and hope we shall, and love we shall, while knowing that all shall be well.

PS, I cannot get to the top to proof this so....
I'll be praying for you and sending positive thoughts your way! ~xoxo
I know you will be well, and that it will be fine. Think of all the lovely books on tape you can listen to while relaxing with some nice books! :)
Lots of love and prayers for tomorrow!
You are on my mind, Liz. Hoping and praying you breeze through this. XOXO
please keep in mind that I am still around during the day quite a bit, so if Scott needs help "caring for his invalid wife," PLEASE do not hesitate to call. I'm always good for a screening of Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Goonies, Beaches....or I could even dig up some titles that came out in this century.
Or whatever else might sound like fun while you are healing.
Love,
Heather
Liz, thinking about you and hoping that all goes well with your surgery.
