Tomorrow is the big day. They are taking the distal bone and first knuckle and leaving me a small "stump". I'll have the joint closest to my hand. I am trying my best to stay positive. It's been hard. Got my ducks in a row--valium for the anxiety, pain meds post op and lots of out fave foods in the freezer. Boss will be here for a few days and I'll be fine; I know it. Thanks for all the kind wishes. Anyone who prays--please feel free!!
Good news is I don't have to go back to Global Entry--they only use 4 fingers for ID. AND--we're off to South Africa for 2 safaris in 30 days. I plan to keep going everywhere on my list.
