I have been dreading it ever since the doc told me I needed this surgery back in June......
But, it has to be done!......Without it, I will never work in my field again....it's bad enough that I may not be able to go back to working on the line.....but we'll see about that!
You see...... I am one of the lucky ones who actually enjoys what they do for a living.
Food is my PASSION....Particularly The Restaurant/ Catering Life!
When I am in the kitchen concocting creations for others to enjoy eating, is when I am at my happiest!
I miss everything about it!!!!... From the kitchen banter.....to the adrenalin rush I get for those few hours a day when my ticket line is full......
Ahhhhhh, and the instant gratification I get when all my food has gone out without any complaints!.......
And then there are the greatest of moments......When a server, or even the customer themselves, comes into the kitchen and raves about the food...It just makes me feel good when I can make someone else happy with my food!!!!
Soooooo.... needless to say, I have to have this surgery if I want to go back what I love.
Now I know I've said it a million times, but I am scared shitless!!!...I just want it to be Wednesday afternoon already. When I wake up from anesthesia and someone tells me that everything went just fine!!!....
Here is a little note my Auntie E sent me this morning...I hope she doesn't mind me sharing it with you all....But it is something I would like for you all you to do for me.....
It's PRAY.....Please PRAY for me to whatever god you believe in...
And if ya don't pray or believe in anything....how about some positive energy sent my, and Kat's way tomorrow!
I'll take all I can get!........here is my aunts letter.
Hey TMC,
About your operation... I will pray for you this week and for your operation. I'll pray that your body accepts the medication and that the surgeon's hands are steady and sure. I will pray for peace and comfort in your operating room and that the angel's of light are protecting you. If there are any other concerns that I can pray for you, please let me know.
And, I'll pray for a speedy recovery.
I'm sure I'll hear from your mom how you (and Kat) are doing. Just so you know that I'm thinking of you.
Breathe baby, breathe... PEACE to you!... Love, AEM

I know it's scary -- but think of the freedom you will have when the pain is gone.
Now more "ow" moments or gritting your teeth against the soreness and shooting pains.
You have EVERYTHING going for you... you're young and healthy.
...not to mention, you signed up for YEARS of me picking on you.
We ain't done here.
I know I have that contract here somewhere...
Luv, hugs and all the positive vibes I can muster,
Tinaslaw
(See, love ya enough to even give up my name. Until tomorrow nite when I visit you and take it back, anyway.)

Sheesh! Almost 24 hours late in reading this but, you know we are thinking of you and saying a little prayer. Okay, a BIG prayer! lol Tina is correct in that you are young and other wise physically fit so you should be up to speed in no time. We certainly wish you a speedy recovery. And hang in there Kat! Sometimes it is harder on the person who is watching it all. Our thoughts are with you as well. Darlene and Lori
Tina... been praying for you and keeping you & Kat in my thoughts.
