Saw a new number this morning on the scale...277. Woo hoo! I am trying to be patient today, it's hard to find ways to pass the time. Tomorrow morning I will pack my bags and my brother and I are leaving around Noon for Sioux Falls. My mind is just racing with all sorts of thoughts--mostly good. Just getting impatient is all. I am trying to keep my expectations realistic and I am trying to go into this with a very positive attitude. I think that will help in handling the pain and helping me heal. I think that there is a lot to be said for your mental state and doing things from your brain to help you manage pain such as deep breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques. Of course I will gladly accept pain meds too!
I am hoping to take some pictures along the way to add to my blog and help me remember the experience. Just a few more hours to wait...
We will be thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way!
ReplyDeleteYay! So close! You will be fine, relax and enjoy the ride to Band Land!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel!! My mind was going crazy right before - especially the night before. I still have a runaway mind after a large weight loss or before a doctor's appointment.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have busy night and the next day flies bye!!
Thanks all for the well wishes and encouragement!
