Hi Pat -
As always i am grateful for all the words of encouragement. I'm not sure if you read the reply that i posted to Maria - but i have been faced with many, many challenges during my life, this being quite possibly the icing on the cake so-to-speak.
Any information is helpful, i have been receiving it from all my friends and family. I am just not ready to process any more information as I have alot to consider, take care of, and get into order prior to the surgery. Knowing the risks is making me realize that life is very precious and can be taken away at and given moment, and it must be cherished as if i were living my last day.
Am i scared - You bet! i know that i was given the absolute worst scenario from the doctor but i would not trust him had he not. I am now just waiting for a date to have the surgery done so right now i am trying to get my affairs in order, write down instructions for everyone that will be helping care for my grandson, etc.
Thank you for all the words of encouragement and support - it means alot. I will check in again when i have some more information regarding the date.
