    Thinking of you Debbei. Not long now. I can't imagine what it's like for you right now. I think we should all be given knock out pills and sleep through the last week. That way you wouldn't even know your youngest had nits!

    Be good to yourself and take care.

      LOL that's funny. My last day on the job (contractor position) was yesterday, and my boss said that during the next 6 months of the world financial crisis, I could be in a daze and not even know it , and then when it's all over, the economy is doing better and they are hiring again, I could go back.

      Sounds like a plan to me!!

        Debbei:

        I'm leaving town for a week on Monday, but want you to know I'll be thinking of you on the 15th.

          Debbei,

          Sounds like our stories are similar--I'm 46, had a brace 1976 to 1980, and am facing surgery a couple of weeks after you are.

          I will be praying for you on Wednesday, as well as before and after. Hoping to reading positive posts from you afterwards, saying how much better it went than you were fearing! But if that's not the case, we'll be here for you.

          Much love,

            Lisa,

            You're not kidding we are similar. Same age, I had the brace the same years as you did, although the last year I think was just for sleeping. How ironic that they considered us such successes with the brace.

            I am a lot calmer than I thought I would be at this point, I guess because so much is going on in my life. I just wish that it were already one month from now and I was through it already!

            Good luck to you too.

              I'm thinking of you and before you know it, you will be one month into recovery. It's just that before you have the surgery, time goes by oh so slowly, but once you get through the surgery, time starts to fly again. Just think positive thoughts.
