T-1 Til Peapod Extraction

Wow. Tomorrow. Arrive @ hospital 5.30 am. Surgery @ 7.30.

I cannot believe the day has arrived, well, the "day before has arrived"... hard to think that yours truly is having BRAIN SURGERY! Ho-lee SHIT.  Surreal. Just plain surreal!

Who would've thought that you would know anyone that had a brain tumor, albeit benign? Or that that person would be me??!! Who would've thunk it!!

And then there's the Acromegaly. For all those hours spent engrossed in all those TLC reality shows about gigantism, the woman in the UK who's legs and feet wouldn't stop growing and came to the USA for medical help, the shows about the world's tallest people.... how fascinating I am by all these shows!! I would've never, in a million years, thought that I could relate to this life, that I would become a part of this amazing family. If it had to be someone, I'm happy it's you, Acromegaly....! You. Fascinate. Me.

I am not afraid.
I am not nervous (yet).
I am not alone.
I am not in denial.

I am excited.
I am optimistic.
I am hopeful.
I am happy.
I am anxious.

I am inspired to be a better me.

So today, I am me. In 2 weeks, I will be a new me.

I. Can't. Wait!
