This is the email that I wrote the night before my surgery.Β I remember sitting at a blank screen for awhile and not knowing exactly what toΒ write to my friends, family, and coworkers.Β I wanted to appear strong, but deep down, I was feeling scared and anxious.Β I had to keep reminding myself that everything would be ok and that I was in good hands with my doctors and that I had many people praying and thinking about me.Β I also had Maverick (the lab) and Macy (the chi) supporting me by wearing pink bandanas.
