Re: I am positive that your are trying to keep yourself busy .. Pre-op testing, blood and scans performed.

Busy cooking last minute meals, washing laundry, house cleaning --- maybe you ran out to have a last minute pedicure, oh wait, that would be me.. LOL

Regardless what you may be doing today, please know that I am with you sending positive vibes and prayers in your direction. I am also preparing our 'Kindred Spirit' bus for the trip tomorrow. I have added a fresh veggie/salad bar to the bus, as we Sisters in PINK have been on several trips this past week, and the coffee and brownies are starting to add a few pounds to my buttock region.

You are a Treasured family member .. and I value your friendship immensely. I will be the sister to your left, going on and on about our 'cookbook', while fussing to make sure you are resting comfortable, and in no pain.

Strength and Courage,

Vicki Sam

    Wait a minute
    I don't want veggies. If I'm on a road trip and sitting in a hospital waiting room, I'm gonna need (been hanging out with the grandkids -- they "need" everything) coffee and brownies. I'll veggie it up when I'm back home.

    Seriously, I'm on the bus with everyone else wishing you well.

    brownies on the black market in the back seats, so everyone
    should be provided for (: And I see Chenheart has a Latte flask..

    way, get ready!!

    YOU ARE ALL SIMPLY THE BEST! LOVE THE PINK BUS!
    Let me start over as my last reply went POOF after I wrote it all hence GRRRR! Vicki you hit it on the mark, I have been a whirl wind of house cleaning over here. As I type I am washing the bedding and last bit of laundry. I prepared a meal for Friday and my husband just laughed and told me to freeze it as he plans to get me whatever I am hungry for on Friday and Saturday, lucky me! In ref. to the pedicure while I have opted for a haircut which is scheduled for 2:30 today. Now if the nerves weren't going awry enough I spent all of last night in the ER with my baby sister who's husband's kidney's have ceased to function for the third time....he is only 45. There I was right next to him chatting away all evening when the nurse comes in and states in addition to that the tests have come back and he has a highly contagious infection, knowing I am scheduled for surgery they shooed me out the door and freaked me out a bit! Can you tell by all this rambling that I am a nervous wreck! I hate surgeries as I have such a hard time waking up, all this for a boob....geezz! Oh here is a funny for all of you, my surgeon gave me homework, I am practicing where my nipple should go by applying and reapplying those round little band aides...LOL! He said in the end the decision is his but he wants my input, how funny is that! I put the band aid in one spot and say to my husband so does this look right!

    Okay enough of all my ramblings, ladies thank you for boarding this bus with me, I am going to print this out and take it with me to the hospital to remind myself that you are all there with me. Marcia, I love the pom poms and your little stick gal it truly makes me smile. Oh yes, I have now lost 28 lbs (can't get over the hump yet) and I would like a brownie with my salad please! ;-)

    Love you all will report back when I am mobile.

    RE

    Room for me on the bus???
    Well ... leave it to me to be the last one on the bus. I hope some of you will scrunch over a bit so I can squeeze in for the ride. And as far as the salad bar idea ... personally I'd rather sit near the brownies.

    Sounds like you've had a busy few days RE ... and it sounds like you need to slow down just a bit ... so they don't need to chase you down the hall and tackle you to get you on the operating table.

    So ... we'll all be with you tomorrow (you'll recognize me ... I'll be the one with brownie crumbs all over my face!) ... and we'll be waiting to hear from you after it's all over.

    big hugs ... and love ...

    Oh my
    I didn't know! Oh, RE, all the best. I know things will turn out fine. You are so wise to get the house ready and everything comfortable for your recooperation. I want to be there on that bus, too. I like the salad and the brownies. Let's see, I'll bring a big pot of comforting chili to add to the mix. Love you.

    RE I just love you and am praying that the surgery is quick, uneventful and hope you rebound quickly. Wish I could get some of your drive to loose 28 pounds, way to go RE!!!
    Enjoy the brownie and may I please bring along some homemade choc chip cookies? Just love them as much as they love my hips.
