Here we are... Surgery day!

So here we are. Day of surgery. In about 30 minutes the house will come alive with people waking up and starting their days.

I think I go a few hours sleep, which is better than I expected. Talked to my daddy last night - he can't be here because he's working at a ski area in Wyoming of all places. Not much he or anyone else can really do but sweet of him to want to be here.

Of course part of me feels guilty because after today I know I will spend the next week feeling pretty miserable and the good hostess in me is worried about mom being on her own and bored while I sleep. Ah, the caretaker being cared for always an awkward situation!

I cannot even express how grateful I am for all my people! I have the most amazing support network of friends and family. Thank you everyone for seeing me to this point... See you on the other side in a few hours!

Oh, and later 90% of my stomach... It's been real!
