Yes, I know today is not Tuesday. Just found out that Tuesday is the day I will have my surgery. Woo Hooo! Let's get the show on the road.
I am not in denial. I know this is not going to be an easy process. I am aware that I have never had major surgery before and that it will take my body some time to heal. I am also aware that not having a thyroid is not going to be an easy thing and that my body is going to do some things that I'm not happy about (ie- gain weight). But I also know that when all is said and done I will be 'Better'. I am looking forward to the 'someday' when that happens.
I'm thankful for all the countless blessings that I have- including all of you who have been praying and sending positive thoughts in my direction. It sounds totally cheesy but having something like this happen really does make you look at your life differently. For me I see the Lord's hand in everything. I KNOW that this experience is for my own learning and growth. I also know that I'll get through it all and be a stronger person afterwards because of it. And because I know those things I am looking forward to this operation, the recovery, and moving on.
As a side note- my arm is doing TONS better today. A little twinge here and there but nothing in comparison to two days ago. thank goodness!

You will do great! Just make sure that Gilbert is ready to work hard. I also hope that he keeps us posted.
Em, I am thinking of you and praying for you! Your strength and faith are inspiring. So glad your arm feels better - that sounded awful.
