So my surgery was yesterday, pain is pretty significant. I am pushing thru...walked about 50 laps today. I itch from head to toes, naseau is bad. Only allowed 1oz of Water eveey hr, tomorrow I get Liquid Protein 2oz every two hours. Other than walking, i can't keep my eyes open. I'm nodding off while writing this....lol. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Its 5:45 and I an enroute to tbe hospital....I did sleep...inbtwn running to potty....lol the mag citrate has done me in. So excited!!!! Can't wait to wake up on the loser side :-)

So my big day has arrived!!! 8 hours and counting til I check in for surgery!!! Don't know if I can sleep....so excited!!!

So I have been mia for a while now, and must say I have missed this forum. I have had so much going on, my dd was in the hospital, then my granny was in the ICU for 3weeks, underwent 2 emergency surgeries and eventually subcumed to the illness last week, travelled outta state for the funeral. All three kids have started school, and my phone (which is what I use this app on) has been swapped out 5xs til it finally got fixed (i hope)..... With all this going on, I looked at the calendar to see my surgery is in 2days!!!!! Excited but overwhelmed at the same time. Hope everyone is doing well and I have truly missed the supportive friendships on here! Hugs to you all! Wendy

I have been having the same problem with my offices surgery coordinator. I know we aren't their only patient, but we all deserve to be treated with respectfully. I had a deadline as well, the surgeon agreed to it and the surgery coordinator gave me a deadline to complete my preop testing. I met that deadline, then called multiple times a day for weeks with no returned call. Finally, when I call and ask to speak with her supervisor my call was returned. I was given a completely different oppinion on my original surgery date. My surgery is now scheduled for more than a month after it was supposed to be requiring me to obtain more help getting my kids to school and picking them up. Stay on them, its your right!

Congrats

Best wishes on a speedy recovery!

Hooe your stayin strong and hanging in there! You will get through this and be amazing! Prayers!

Finally got a returned call after numerous messages and a week of not returning my calls....The surgery coordinator called and I am APPROVED & scheduled for September 5th!!!!! I am doing the happy dance!

Thats wonderful news! So happy to hear things are going well! Hugs to you & your babies
