hello everyone. it seems like forever since i've seen, or even talked to, anyone. i miss you guys. i've been super busy and super stressed trying to get things ready for work since i'll be missing my very valuable pre-planning time to go into surgery. i have spent all day bouncing from dr.'s to hospitals to labs, and then had to hit the mall to shop for my mom's b-day (which i'll miss to sit on the couch doped up on pain pills). so, here's the deal in case you've been wondering... i will be going into surgery around 8am thursday morning. because the cyst is fluid filled, they should be able to drain it with an easy outpatient surgery (that's what we're praying for), if that's the case i'll be able to go home that day and rest. if not, they'll have to actually open me up and i'll have to stay the night and go home sometime friday. please pray that everything will go well and i'll be able to leave that day. the closer it gets the more i'm stressing. i've never ever been in the hospital, never had so much as a stitch or an x-ray. i'm really quite nervous. for some reason i can handle being pierced and tattooed from head to toe (bring it on baby!), but the idea of surgery scares me all to hell. so any prayers you can send my way will be greatly appreciated. i obviously won't be in church this weekend, but hope to make it back sometime soon. i miss you all and send my love!!
