16 hours till surgery

[Sunshine 1]

Well, I'm here @ the hotel. My husband and son are swimming and will be going out to eat @ Cracker Barrel. I live 1.5 hours away from the hospital, so it was easier to get a hotel close to the hospital since I have to be there @ 6am.

My pre-op directions were for today only. One day of Clear liquids and also to take 1 bottle of Magnesium Citrate. I purposely barely ate anything yesterday so it would make it for an 'easier' and 'quicker' experience today due to the liquid laxative I had to take.

So, I'm sitting here feeling all sorts of things. Weird things. Things I expected to feel. It's crazy.

I just needed to reach out and share this with ya'll.

Thanks for all the kind words: I had the surgery Monday and I jut got home (Wednesday evening). I can honestly say that I feel like crap. I'm assuming the upper chest/shoulder pain is from the gas. And, that the aches and pains in the mid regions are from the surgery itself. I have had LOADS of esophageal spasms which are horrific. The Dr. was going to make me stay another day if I didn't get more hydrated. After EIGHT bags of Fluid and 3 hours of drinking 1 ounce every 10 minutes..I was released.

Question: is it normal to feel THIS bad after surgery? I keep reading how some people are jumping around after surgery. Not me.......at all.
