In exactly one month from today I am going to do something that I have – in some capacity or another – tried to forget the feelings of for the last thirty plus years.
Except this time I will not be limited by the perceptions of my five year old eyes and fears.
The necessary evil of having to go though open heart surgery again is something I have totally come to terms with. I just wish those terms didn’t have to go with such a fast approaching actual date.
January 15, 2015, is another new beginning. I feel truly blessed and thankful for the opportunity. And even though I am strong and healthy now, I can’t wait to see what having a functioning Pulmonary Valve actually feels like; even if the one I am getting did once belong to a poor sweet pig.
But mostly I can’t wait to see what painkillers they give me. I really hope they are liberal with the opiates … lots and lots and lots and lots of opiates.
The count down is on.
Let’s do this.

You only have the best, sweetest, cutest, most charming and intelligent doctor out there. So I know and trust you will be fine. Plus, I have some special people up in heaven who I’ll be sending out to watch over you during that entire week. YES! The ENTIRE week … you can thank me later 😉 because for that whole week my protectors will be gone so I will be in hiding ;). I love you so much <3
