Sleeve Today - Gone Tomorrow

blogs/blog-0370373001375361638.jpgYep D Day is here aka operation day. I am not nervous. This shocks me. Could be e premedication I've taken but I haven't felt nervous at all. That doesn't mean I haven't had moments of "worst case scenario" syndrome but for the most part I am good!

 

My appointment is for 7:30 but have to be there one hour before to get IV, gowned oh yhea and pay the anesthesiologist (thank you spell check).

 

Through this whole journey to today I have had my husband supporting me the whole way. Thank you darling.

 

Nope I'm feeling good and looking forward to being on the other side - recovery pain and all.

 

Good luck to all being sleeves today- see you on the other side.

    I love your teddy bear. Maybe you should get one to hold onto when you have to cough after surgery.

    Update:

    Doing well, no. complications. Sore throat but manageable.getting my flluids and drinking . Am walking around every hour and half - it helps! Have a drain but my husband is dealing with it as well as flushing my IV line (it will be removed tomorrow after a load up on liquids.

    Highly highly recommend cholera septic spray - it make everything just a little better. Take the pain meds as directed - don't be a hero.

    And pillows....lots of them makes it easier to get into a comfortable position. I currently 4 an am eyeing my husbands two :)
