Hi Ladies,

Usually we load up the Pink Bus when unpleasant things may be happening, don't we? Well this time I would like to load up the bus for a GREAT thing. I am having my reconstruction surgery tomorrow. I am having the tissue expander on my right side removed and replaced with an implant. My left side (a DD cup) will be reduced and lifted to match. I am excited but I am also a bit nervous. The surgeon said he cannot guarantee exactly how big/small I will be until he gets in there and sees what my anatomy will allow him to do. The support of the Sisters on the Pink Bus would be much appreciated. Usually I am the one on the bus with the bag of chocolate bars. I will have my husband bring the bag to the hospital and come outside when he hears our new double-decker bus arrive. I told him he would have no trouble hearing it as the sisters get very loud. Thanks. See you all tomorrow.

IRENE

    Ask and you shall receive~
    Ask and you shall receive~ the Pink Bus is at your disposal and all who can make it will be there!!!! Thanks or letting us know~ it gives us time to save our seats and decide what "provisions" we will be bringing! Glad you told the hubby~ remind him that ( for the most part!) we are harmless!

    You got it!
    The pink sisters will all be loading up on the double decker bus! It is really nice and we certainly needed the room.

    Everyone brings so much in the way of food and drinks that we were running out of room on the old bus.

    I know you must be a bit nervous, but, this is such a major part of your journey. And, it is a good thing!

    Warn your husband that he might get surrounded by the sisters looking for the chocolate. I don't want to scare the poor man. LOL

    Best of luck to you Irene! See you tomorrow!
