Heard I'll be discharged tomorrow. You guys are awesome, sorry for not being able to post earlier. Everything you said helped me get me through this. I know this is just another start again, and I'm sure I'll get through it too. More later.. Ihn

Good for you! Best wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Like you, I live in CA. I was not in a hurry to fly back home the day after discharge (they may assume that). If you can, you might feel better waiting until after your first discharge followup... Read more.
Ihn, still thinking and praying for you. Feel the same way as you. Confident in the crew and god's will. I'm not at the hospital yet. Had my pre op visit a week ago. Surgery wed. The visit made me even more confident. Best wishes. And I'll try to post... Read more.
Best wishes to you! I will be praying for you, your doctors and your family.
Good luck to you, Ihn! Who is your Doctor at CC?

Got a "pre-admission" call from CC, and my name's on the "upcoming surgery" board. Oh well.. I found there are "Acceptance" stage after the "Planning" stage which is after the "Panic" stage. Prayers for all of those with upcoming surgery.

I'm gonna try one last time.....my prior two didn't show. Looks like we have the same day! I can't agree with you more on the stages. I would add one....anticipation. I'm ready to get this over with and get on with living. Best of luck. I'll be praying for us... Read more.
Ihn & Doran, my thoughts & prayers will be with you on your surgery day.
