Too BIG???

Hey. Just a quick post. I just want to share what happened today. I got a sweatshirt jacket for Christmas (yes, Christmas, we celebrated early because I get out of the hospital on Christmas day and won't feel like doing much of anything). So I went to put it on and go outside this afternoon, and.... it was TOO BIG!! Its the size I've worn for several years now. But it was quite a bit too big, and since I will be losing a lot real quick, I wanted it to be borderline tight right now. So I went and exchanged it. I actually had to drop down 2 sizes to get the fit I wanted. And it still wasn't all that tight. It was an absolutely awesome moment when I realized I finally had something TOO BIG. As far as surgery goes, tomorrow I have to do the bowl prep. (what fun....) Mom and dad both have appointments tomorrow to start the whole process towards having surgery themselves. So we're going to Johnson City tomorrow morning. We are going to get a motel room and up there, since I have to be at the hospital at 5 Tuesday morning. So no post tomorrow, but I have to say, I think I finally found the peace I've needed to find to go into this. I'm not worried, I'm not scared, I'm really not even nervous right now. I'm just really excited. It is finally here. The next time you all hear from me, I will be post op and my journey will truly have begun. I can't wait to share it with you. Keep me and my family in your prayers Tuesday. I'll see you all on the other side. I've got to go get stuff together and get packed.
