Happy Holidays Everyone!!

I just wanted to tell everyone hello and that I hope all of you are enjoying your Holiday Season. I am doing really great and have been feeling pretty good. I still get fluid on me but, I am able to manage it with my medicine. I have been getting involved with my church and have been going every Sunday. It seems to really help me to be more calm and to have 'hope'. I know that what I have to go through is very scary for my family and friends. I know that I will be just fine and everything will work out. I've been having to give a lot of my medical stuff to my Mother, and my Cousin is organizing the fund raising for my 'Honeybee Heart Foundation'. It has taken a load off of me cause the last thing I want is more stress. I truly am looking forward to getting my new heart and liver cause I know my life will CHANGE.'It's about darn time' : ) I have a vision board where I have things that I am looking forward to after my transplant. This keeps me focused and positive.

Just to share a little story with all of you. The other night I was laying by the Christmas tree and I told my Mom, 'wouldn't you be shocked if the day after my surgery I got up and told you that I wanted to go for a walk around the nurses station?' She laughed and said, 'now Melissa you are going to be in way to much pain to do that.' So you know me I will have to prove her wrong as I have done soooo many times before. Thank you all for the support, the love, prayers and most of all your kind words in my guest book...
love, Honeybee
