I can see that my blog is being read so I would love it if you would join my blog as a member or click to follow. I am nervous, scared and happy all at the same time about my surgery coming up. I do want to say something about this surgery. You have to be completely and totally positive without a shadow of a doubt that this is what you want for yourself. If one day or one hour you say to yourself well I think I want to do it and then change your mind several different times during the day the week. You need to wait and be absolutely positive before you do this surgery. I say this because I know how it feels to be unsure. When I started thinking about it I would go back and forth about having my bladder removed. It is so final. When I say this it is not to belittle anyone I say these things because I care. I think that I am a pretty nice person so I hope the people who are unsure will talk with me here about it. I really like to help people with the 22 years of knowledge that I have from so much research and just by experience. If you read my blog yesterday you know why I am saying this. I got cussed out (I think) because I told someone she didn't sound ready to have the surgery. People question me all the time. It is ok because I know they only care. Oh yea!!!! Auburn is getting a whooping by Mississippi State!!! I just hope Alabama wins their game today!! Roll Tide Roll!!! ok, everyone have a wonderful weekend. I have 16 days until the BIG day. My day to say good riddance to my bladder and hello to my bag. Watch out bag lady coming through!!! Keep reading my blog and you will get updates about things I learn about the ileal conduit surgery!! I will tell you more soon. Bye for now...................
