Letting Go
Nov 26, 2009
So yesterday was Thanksgiving, and I have to say it was a very difficult day for me. Since I received my approval letter for the surgery I have been on cloud nine and very excited about starting a "New" healthier life. However, yesterday I began reflecting that this would be the last Thanksgiving for me. It was almost as if it was "The Last Supper". I started reflecting on my life and through all the good and bad times my two best friends were always there for me . . . Food & Cigarettes. I know that I have to let go of my two faithful friends for a healthier me, but it's very hard and very painful. So many questions are running through my mind rite now, and I'm not sure if it's pre-op jitters or my mind playing tricks on me.I am on day 5 of Chantix to help with kicking the smoking habit, I have cut down alot thus far. Hoping to be completely smoke free before I return to see the doctor on the 17th.
In the meantime, I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row to prepare for surgery. My approval letter states that it can be done between Jan. 1st - Mar. 1st. I'm hoping that the time will fly between now and then.
Thanks to all of the wonderful people I have met here on OH, y'all have been a great support!!
