Good luck
I'm 3 days behind you--I'll be going to the "castle" on Friday the day after Thanksgiving and I haven't even packed my suitcase yet--I think I'm putting it off because I'm still a little nervous.
Good luck, we'll be here thinking about you and sending prayers. Let us know how you are doing when you get a chance.
Thanks,
Cindy

Do you wear contacts lenses or glasses? I also got some colace and some of these wet wipes for bathroom use that were great for bm's. I found them at walmart. They have walmart brand and a few other brands. Theyare great because one minute I seem to have diarrhea and the next I am constipated beyond belief so my bottom is sore and these are damp and feel better than dry toilet paper. Lynn
