Surgery Date: January 2nd

It's official.  The surgery date is January 2nd!!!  It will be at St. Vincent's on the North side at 9:30 a.m.  I'll be in Neural ICU for the first 24 hours then will be moved to a general room for 3 days - being released on January 6th.

This is the first year in a long time that I've been forced to slow down during Christmas.  I did most of our shopping on-line, didn't send Christmas cards, didn't bake um-teen dozen cookies, am not hosting a big family event and won't have the annual New Years Eve party at our house.  Sure, I miss some of it, but I cherish every moment this time around.  Give it a try.  Slow down a little so that you can be part of your own life rather than watching it pass by.

Why is it that being a part of our own life means we have to be sick or suffering some type of emotional battle? We as women are always letting life pass us by in the business of getting it all done right. Stacey, you know I am a--have my ducks in a row kind of girl! Right is in the eye of the beholder! What is right by my standards may not make a bit of difference to anyone else! I hope this year I can be a part of my own life. I might make that my New Year's Resolution:) Thanks for opening my eyes and I will pray for all of you in the weeks to come! God Bless!
