Hi Kathy,

I'm just busy, busy getting everything done before Monday.  When mom (that would be me :o)  is out of commission for awhile the whole house goes to pot!  So trying to get laundry done, get some food in the freezer, finish Christmas shopping, etc.  I am honestly trying not to think too much about the surgery on Monday.  I feel deep down a bit of mourning for those parts and just don't have time to cry right now.  I probably need to mourn a bit before I go into surgery, but I suppose after will be just fine as well.  

A friend called an told me we should have a "celebration" dinner before I go in, but I'm not quite in the celebration mode.  In about a month, when all the pain is gone and I can stand up without pain, bend over without pain, go for a walk without pain, sleep without pain...etc.  Then, I think I will be about to celebrate.

My cyst removed prior to this surgery was benign (not cancer) and I am pretty certain that the 3 I now have are also benign.  I won't know for sure until they are biopsied, but I've just heard too many times that cancer is not painful.  Again, my mom died of ovarian cancer (she had had a hyterectomy with one ovaray left behind) and never knew she had it until it was too late.  She was just never in any pelvic pain.  I have horrific pain that comes and goes.  I never know when it's going to strike.

I have a deep faith in God and know that he will be watching over me and will send his dear angels to watch over me in that operating room.  I have prayed for my surgeon and all those who will be in the room.  May God give you a peace that passes all understanding as you await your surgery.  

I'll look forward to hearing how things went for you  soon.
