Tomorrow is the big day! I am currently doing my "prep" work for my surgery, won't get into too much detail there, but it is no fun!

We check in at 5:45 tomorrow morning and the surgery is scheduled to start at 7:30. I will be at M.D. Anderson Alkek Hospital. The surgery lasts 4-6 hours and I may be in ICU for a while during recovery until I get a room. I hope it has an ocean view! Someone will post all the other details as they become available. I am including a web address where you can send email messages to me and the volunteers will print them and bring them to my room. Sounds like a genius idea, I guess that means I don't have internet connection in my room? I have been told to expect to be in the hospital for 7-9 days, I am banking on 7, who gets any rest in a hospital anyway??

I can't wait to post cancer free very soon! I know all of your prayers and overwhelming support has made this possible for me, keep up the good work! This will be a long recovery, but it will be sooooo worth it.

Thanks & Much Love,
Kelly
