Today is the Day!!!

My stomach is growling

My butt is sore (from the bowel prep)

My laundry is clean (and the kids' too)

My house is clean (kinda)

My medicine cabinet is stocked with...

gas-x strips

and chewable vitamins

My pantry is stocked with...

diet jello

herbal tea

and low sodium chicken broth

My treadmill is dusted off

My Christmas presents are bought

My husband will have to do the rest!!!

OK, my attempt at a poem of sorts. I do find it a bit humorous how much preparation goes into this half hour surgery. And, you all know this poem doesn't even begin to cover it all. I could write a separate one about the insurance junk. But, here I am, the day is finally here! :crying:

My surgery got moved back up to 12:30 so I am really happy about that. I was scheduled for 2:30 and was wondering how I would make it that long without food. A 12:30 surgery time makes it a lot easier because I need to be at the hospital by 10:30 which leaves a lot less idle time around here to wallow in my hunger. My 6 yr old son heads off to school at 8:45, then my MIL gets here at 9:15 to watch my daughter, then my hubby and I need to leave by 9:45 to be at the hospital, parked, and in there by 10:30. I'm just enjoying a few silent moments here before my kids wake up.

I am anxious to get this over with, but not worried. I mainly just want to be knocked out so I don't have to feel this awful hungry feeling anymore.

WOO HOO!!! Thoughts and prayers with you today for surgery done in excellence and rapid healing and recovery! Congratulations!
