8 days to go!

Today I had an appointment with my general doctor for my physical for surgery. I think it really hit me today that I am really having this back surgery. I think it has been so many months since I made the appointment for June 15th that I almost prepared myself for it not to be for a while, and here it is, 8 days away. When the nurses asked me what kind of surgery I was having, there initial reaction was one of a gasp! Thanks nurses...make me feel a whole lot better. I am trying to keep positive and keep the thought of the pain out of my head, but its really hard when you can't beat the inevitable! I have great friends around me and they will keep feeding my with positive thoughts and prayers.
