Keep your fingers crossed & send me good vibes

It's in the books. I'm scheduled for my prophylactic mastectomy on May 22nd. This surgery feels very different. One minute I'm scared to start over and worried that I will have complications. Another minute I know I am doing the right decision because I'm being proactive with my health. It's a very drastic thing to be this proactive but I do not want to have regrets in the future if I do get a recurrence. My inconclusive genetic testing makes me feel as if I need to make my own personal decision...and I do. This decision will change my body and my future health, hopefully for the better, forever.

I haven't told a lot of people about this surgery. I guess I haven't because I've been through this already and it's my personal decision to move forth with this one. People have asked me if I there's anything that they can do. Send me good vibes. Shoot me an e-mail, text or snail mail. Feel free to call me. (It will go to my voicemail if I'm not up to talking.) I'll be at Austin Surgical Hospital for one to three nights. Feel free to drop by.

I may write again before my surgery. If I don't, I'm sure I'll do it soon after. I don't think I'll be doing too much the days following. :)
