Pre-op testing

Yesterday was my pre-op testing/physical. The doc says I'm healthy as a horse and should have no problem going thru the surgery. YEAH! Today was my pre-op dietician/nurse class. My wonderful hubby took off work to go with me. He is AWESOME and has been so involved in the whole process. I could not ask for a better support system.   10 days until my surgery.
