surgery set for tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. I have the first surgery. I am ready to go. I have lost weight(27lbs) now at 217. I have been walking up to 8 miles a day. Too many kegel's to count. My last psa test was still under 1 (.84). Thanks for all the advice and support. I know everything will work out fine. I have a great wife and three great childern that are in my corner. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers. I hope to be home by Tuesday afternoon and I will write when I am feeling up to it. Thanks again for all your support and prayers.

Just remember that the hard part is already over.  Nothing that will happen over the next several weeks will compare to being told you have cancer.  I found celebrating the small daily improvements to be helpful in my ongoing recovery.  Keep walking when you get home, just do not over do it.

My husband and I were taking one of our long walks this morning and he could not stop saying how hard it is to believe that it will be 3 weeks tomorrow - You will do great tomorrow and before you know it you will be on the otherside passing out advice like this - good luck!!

Good luck tomorrow. I was in your shoes a week ago down to the hour. You will be fine. Remember to take it easy after your surgery. Here is a website that James C. posted for me. I found it full of helpful hints for the days following surgery.
