The nerves aremgetting to me too.. I have broken out in a rash all over from the nerves ~ yikes!

The nerves are really starting,I cant believe I sent that message three times

Tomorrow my last day before surgery on Wednesday

Omg

I know it's really scary 2 days more to my surgery i am so nervous!! I can't believe it is actually here a totally new life.

I don't think it's nerves I'm feeling but rather an anxious excitement. I think tomorrow will be worse until I land in Denver. Once there, I'll be preoccupied with new surroundings. Plus, I hear there's a Joe's Crab Shack near my hotel and I've always wanted to eat there and Seafood is a-okay with my pre-op diet.

Now how I'm going to get to sleep that night, I don't know.

I had never been to our hospital, Spot, so I drove by it on my way home from work. There's tons of litte places to eat, you can't miss the hospital and the Crown Point Surgery Center sign to the left of the main entrance. It looks nice on the outside, it's definitely on the newer side.

Good luck on your trip here, I will be thinking of you tomorrow as I'm driving there - and good luck on the 6th! I can't wait to hear from you and everyone else here when I'm back up and coherent again

Woodslass, pre-op diet March 21, surgery April (due for surgery tomorrow - sending healing vibes, Woodslass)

Thanks Joanne, and everyone else

Good luck!!

Sending you lots of good thoughts Brenda, I hope everything went well for you today.

EastEnd, Carerjem, good luck on the 6th! I'm going to be thinking of both of you when I have a few moments of lucidity tomorrow and sending you lots of good vibes

Less than 12 hours now, counting down!

Spot, my friend, have a fantastic flight, I hope you eat tons of seafood tomorrow and have a safe and worry free night. I will absolutely be sending you mental hugs and encouragement!

Peace Out!

_{Good luck today Carlene! Hope everything goes well. Let us know how you're doing!}
