Getting ready for Wednesday

Hello friends,
It is hard to believe that surgery is just around the corner.  I will check in at 9:30 AM on Wednesday morning and surgery will start at 11:30.  Dr. Guthrie explained that most of these surgeries are day surgeries, but we will be prepared to spend the night since we have a bit of a late start.

Curt and Rebecca will be at the hospital and will try and update the blog once I am out of surgery.  I would prefer not to have any visitors at the hospital, as I imagine I will be pretty out of it.  But I will look forward to seeing you all in the weeks to come, especially after the 1st week. (I think that will be the toughest)

We had a very nice weekend.  I was able to go on a walk with a friend, visit with a dear friend who has been through breast cancer and has been such a support to me, get pedicures with Kari and went kayaking down the Little Spokane River with Curt.  Today we went to church and got some stuff done around the house.  The highlight of our weekend was our visit with sweet Sophia.

Many of you have asked about practical ways to help our family.  I have attached a link to a "meal train" that you are welcome to sign up to bring a meal.  No pressure at all...if you don't like to cook...I will have other "opportunities" to help...I am sure.

While Curt was reading the paper this morning he found this article about my surgeon..the amazing Dr. Guthrie. It was a little reminder from God that I am in good hands.  I feel so blessed to have the "SPOKANE WOMAN OF THE YEAR" as my surgeon.
