Tomorrow is the big day...

Well Monday December 13th is tomorrow. It is my surgery day. I have to be at the hospital at 11:20 for a surgery time of 1:20. It is almost a 2 hour ride (with traffic) to the hospital from where I live so I will be leaving early to make sure that I am not late! I have packed my bag, I always over pack so it was hard to close! Here is my list:

 

Slippers

Robe

PJs

Panties

Blanket and small pillow for car ride home

gas x strips

toothbrush and toothpaste

hairbrush

cell phone charger and cell phone

ID and Kaiser card

binder (for kaiser patients)

breathing thingy (its called a spirometer or something like that. Kaiser gave them to us.)

chapstick

tampons and pads (really really sucks that I started my period this morning)

 

My mom is making me a "care package" which includes magazines, Dr. Alvarez's Vertical Sleeve book and a movie)

 

I am hungry and my tummy is growling a bit. I can drink water until midnight....so I have another 3 hours. I am trying to fill up on that! I feel like I am not tired at all and will be up all night. Plus I have cramps and it really sucks. I don't feel nervous right now, I feel weird though. Really quiet. I am sure that I will be really nervous in the morning. I just wish that I could fast forward 3 months. Well next time I post I will be sleeved....
