right now I'm trying to fight off a cold I feel coming on as best I can!

LOTS of fresh garlic. well, don't make yourself sick or anything, but as much as you can handle as soon as you possibly can. with lots of simple carbs to digest it and help stave off tummyache from it, then lots of green tea and fresh fruit. garlic is my family's go-to for colds and if you eat it soon enough (swallow chunks with water or chew if you really have balls :)), it will kill the virus every time.
 
...damn right I will be, and I have a shirt that says just that! :bigsmile: Thanks so much everyone. My husband got into town on Tuesday, my brother is coming tomorrow, and my mom on Saturday. It's all pretty surreal most of the time... right now I'm trying to fight off a cold I feel coming on as best I can!
Wow this 2 weeks has flown by I am still thinking of you and will be sending you good thoughts on Monday as you Kick E's Ass!

I send wishes of luck your way...
Please keep us informed, my fiance is due for surgery..
 
Just wanted to let you know I'm praying for you and will be sending you warm thoughts Monday morning!! Go kick some E ass for all of us!!
 
Hey 2ndchances,

How are you feeling? Thinking of you and wishing you the best of luck. It sounds like you're in good hands though =)
 
Goodluck and godspeed, you will beat this thing. You have so many people rooting for you.
 
Thank you all so much for the thought and prayers everyone! I'm not sure how I've been so blessed in life to have so much love and support, but I certainly feel it! My brother, who I haven't seen in 6 year is here with me, my mom, who I haven't seen in 5 as well.

Today I've gone from giddy, to crying, to completely nauseous several times. One more load of laundry, last minute things to put aside, and that's it. 4:30a alarm is set, 6:00a arrival at the hospital, 8a is surgery. Thank you all for being there!!

xoxo

You are such an inspiration to all. My best to you with thoughts and prayers.
