Hey everyone! Today was the longest day ever! I left this morning at 430am and got to San Diego at 1030 (but it was really 130pm my time). I had to wait forever for my bags but they eventually came and I was off to Mexicali. It was a two hr drive. I had my pre-op testing so all I could have was water. By this time I am HUNGRY! I got to the hosp and had my blood drawn, EKG, chest x-ray and urine test. Everything looked good, thank God. Then I met with several people. An intake person, Dr. Garcia the anesthesiologist and finally Dr. Aceves the surgeon. Tomorrow I meet with Dr. Campos the nutritionist. I finally got to eat something at 5pm (remind you 8pm my time!). I walked to a pharmacy with a lady I met on the ride over. All in all a good day but just busy. Everyone is just as nice as I've heard. Tomorrow is the big day. I'm first on the schedule so I'm glad about that. Say a prayer for me please!

I'M HOME!!!!!! It felt so good to sleep in my own bed last night (and on my belly woohoo!) Traveling yesterday was long but I upgraded to first class so I was more comfortable. I was mad I couldn't eat the short ribs, chicken chowder, cheesecake, steak and pasta they served. I just sipped my tea and was glad that I at least wasn't hunger because that would have been torture. I must admit I was going to get a bowl of soup and just sip the liquid but when I saw the other passengers bowl I knew it was too thick and didn't want to get sick on a plane. I took a pain pill last night when I got home at midnight and a friend stayed over so I wouldn't spend my first night alone. I hope I won't need anymore of those. I am feeling great today. I had to by antibacterial soap (Dial) to wash with because the wound where the drain was is open and I had to get gauze to change the dressing. I already had skin tape. I have to take the dressing off before my shower and put a new one on after drying off. Well, I guess this is my last entry to this thread. I can now post my weekly updates in the Post-Op forum! :-) Thank you all for being there for me. Any questions please let me know and I will answer them privately or on here, which ever you prefer!
