    Default Here I am

    Hi, I'm in my pre-op week - with surgery scheduled Monday. I've been all over the place making this decision, but I'm there, and have started the journey. It's been a great year this year, so I am looking forward to this topping it off. I'm a bit nervous, but I did a ton of wishy-washy to get to this point, and now that I'm here, I'm just moving forward - almost not thinking about it.... but of course I am, or I wouldn't be joining this forum, but hey, onward!
