is it tomorrow yet???

Well, it's the day before my surgery and this is how it's gone so far.

6:00: ah_shock.gifUGH.. wanted to wake up early so I could pick some things up at the store before work. Oh well, I'll at least be on time any way.

6:15: mmmmm I'm so glad I did laundry yesterday so I can wear my most favorite soft cotton knit pale pink shirt to work.aa_smile.gif

6:37 while in truck: ah_shock.gifACK! NO NO NO! an_angry.gifchocolate protein drink ALL OVER MY PINK SHIRT. Can I cover with my badge...ak_crying.gif WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ak_crying.gifNot even. Well, haven't passed Wal-mart yet.. I'll stop anyway and get new shirt. ak_crying.gif

6:50 in Wal-Mart OH MY GAH... I'm starting to cramp.. I can't BELIEVE I'm starting TODAY. Better get tampons and Tylenol, even though only ibuprophen works.. I can't take ibuprophen before surgery per Dr... Please let extra strength Tylenol work...

7:15 get to work... LATE wearing new scratchy, fit's a little big, pink shirt that isn't NEAR as cute and comfy as the one laying crumpled in the bottom of the floorboard with massive chocolate stains on it shirt.ae_sad.gif

7:30 stuffed 4 chewable Tylenol go tabs in mouth... cramping so bad I'm sweating and I want to punch something or tear all of my hair out... NOT exaggerating.an_angry.gif

8:00 Cannot concentrate on ANYThing cramping is so bad. Tylenol SUCKSae_sad.gif

8:30 ran into friend, Shannon in bathroom, she has a cherry pit heating pad that you heat in the microwave... temped to kiss friendxa_heart.gif

8:45 nuke pad for 3 minutes.. is so hot have to put thick papers on leg to protect but FEELS REALLY GOOD on left side that is somehow hurting worse than the rest of my uterus/right ovary. had two cups of BLACK coffeefe_coffee.giffe_coffee.gif

9:00 Call surgeon to beg him to let me take my ibuprophen.. left messageak_crying.gifak_crying.gif

9:10 they called back to tell me it was ok to takewe_star_shooting.gifwh_palms.gifzd_rainbow.gifzd_rainbow.gifzd_rainbow.gifzd_rainbow.gifwe_star_shooting.gifwe_star_shooting.gifwe_star_shooting.gif

9:10 and 1/2 inhaled ibuprophen, reheated cherry pit thingy for the 3rd time and waited for some relief.xt_clock.gifxt_clock.gifxt_clock.gifxt_clock.gifxt_clock.gifxt_clock.gif

9:40 FINALLY getting some reliefaa_smile.gif but feel loopy for taking ibuprophen on top of four Tylenol.

11:00 life is back to normalac_cool.gif except for incredibly annoying new pink shirt that rides up and makes my already huge rack look three times as big....ah_shock.gif and the burn spot on the left side of tummy.

1:13.. time for more pills. I'm not eating at all today.. just doing my EAS shakes. Be glad when tomorrow's procedure is done and over so I can quit thinking about it.
