And The Journey Begins

So I am off early this morning to begin reconstruction and all that goes with it. I know it will be a tough surgery and recovery a little slower than I am used to but in the end it will be worth the work. I am not taking any cute night gown - just going to west hospital stuff - but I do have my really, really comfy clothes to wear home. There is free wifi so I will have Joe bring my iPad tomorrow when I hopefully am awake and bored and wanting to play on the web.

I did a pre- op interview with Lakeland and the nurse I was talking with could not say enough good things about Dr. Logan and that this surgery is his specialty and she has a friend who had it and she looks wonderful. That is always good to hear especially right before you are going under for 6 hours or so. I have never had this extensive surgery - every thing else has been out patient - even my mastectomy I was home within 24 hours. Time to grab a shower and get dressed as we are heading out at 5:30 to check in at 6:30. Wish me luck! Oh and a prayer too please.
