I can't believe surgery's tomorrow!

     Tomorrow is the big day! Elvis is leaving the building!! Yes, that is what I have decided to name my tumor (with the help of a really good friend;). I read a blog today about "70 things I learned from my brain tumor" and one thing the author stated was to name your tumor. I thought "HEY!" what a good idea! So Elvis it is and it will be Always on my mind!
     At this point in time I am feeling rather relaxed. I know that will change consistently as the night goes on but right now I'm good. I have a headache and really want to take some Excedrine or Motrin to help my headache but I can't.  Not happy with that! At midnight tonight is when I have to stop eating and drinking. A part of me doesn't think that will be bad. However, I am an ornery person and when you tell me that I can't do something that is when I TOTALLY want to do it! So here is hoping that my ornery side does not come out!! I had to put my dogs in a kennel today. That was extremely hard too! I left blubbering like a baby! I know they will be fine but I felt like I was saying good bye and I hate goodbye's. I had to kennel them because I don't want people to have to worry about them. I also don't think I'll be able to take care of them when I get home. The thought of having a huge headache and then bending over to pick up poop is not my ideal situation post-surgery! Plus knowing my dogs, they will be jumping all over my head when I am trying to rest. That can't happen!! I still feel like I have a ton of things left that I need to do but have decided that if it doesn't get done than it wasn't meant to get done! I'm not stressing over cleaning!
     I know a lot of people have asked what they could do for me and I feel lucky and blessed that so many care! However, I have to restate again-- Please keep me in your prayers and pray for a speedy recovery! Here's to It's Now or Never!
