Surgery Day

Today is the day that I go in for surgery.  I am feeling confident and good about the whole surgery.  The only thing that worries me is losing 3/4 of my left upper lobe of my lung.  It worries me that I may not be able to breathe deeply ever again and that is the worst feeling for me.  I have prayed on it and it is out of my hands so I try not to think about it and concentrate on getting myself in survival mode and doing everything that I can to beat this and fight it with all that I have.  I made a promise to both Dustin and Jami that I would fight this with all that I am and fight with every ounce of energy that I have and I am true to my promises. 

The University staff and doctors have been fantastic.  I would recommend this hospital to anyone that has to go through anything like this.  They make you feel like family and not just another patient. 

I hope to come out of this with good results and learn to live without part of my lung and be around for a long time to come.
