8 Hours to Go!

I am soooo excited:thumbup: I will go in for surgery in 8 hours. I can't believe how quickly this has happened.

I had to do a liquid diet the day before surgery (yeah, I know, some of you had 1 or 2 weeks) so I feel lucky. It was not too bad. I made it through the day without too many thoughts of food, of course I was preoccupied with tomorrow!

Had to do a bowel cleanse, how lovely. However, nothing seems to be moving at this point - with my luck it will kick in about 2 a.m. and I won't get any sleep. I applied my anti-nausea patch thingy behind my ear. Hopefully that will help with the woozies after surgery.

Have to be at the hospital by 6 a.m. nice and early and should be back for surgery at 7:30. I am hoping everything is running on time. It would be nice to be home by 1ish, but I am not sure how long they will keep me after the surgery. :confused2: I know they want you up and walking around and able to keep fluids down.

Well, I am off, hopefully I will get some sleep tonight and be ready to start this new portion of my life tomorrow morning - no looking back!
