I am here and a little freaked

[HDubSleevery 25]

Everything is just as you all said it would be. I have passed my pre op tests and I will have surgery tomorrow. The hotel is beautiful. Ernesto was great. I am so lonely. I thought there would be a couple of others in the van or in the hospital but I was the only one on the van and I am the only one scheduled for surgery tomorrow. I feel like I am doing this all by myself and my confidence is fading fast. I am just now eating something so I am fighting a headache. I have this fear that I will be walking the halls alone tomorrow.

Oh and because I couldn't find the room service menu I am eating in the restaurant alone.

I was the only surgery on my day, too. Don't worry, there will be other people who had surgery today that you can walk and talk to on Wednesday--tomorrow you will mostly sleep (and pee!) Everything will go by very quickly--you can have a margarita and your Ativan and go off to dreamland tonight (don't forget to set the alarm clock) and you will wake up calm and relaxed tomorrow morning.

Hope you had the ribeye tacos for dinner, they were great!

The Resturant down stairs is amazing! Just because you were the only one he picked up doesn't mean you will be the only one on that floor. You most certainly won't be. You can feel free to PM me or text (pm and i'll give you my cell) or call if you need a friend who's been there done that. There are about 8 rooms off the hall where you will be walking, peek in and introduce yourself. I did to everyone who was there when I was and had some great convos. Ladies were coming by to check on me and me to them.

If you like coffee have the pressed coffee and the deserts are yumlicious. I had the sampler entree and it was great, also the cactus was good. I went all out <blush>

I went by myself there was another person in the van but he was not a social person. He took off the instant we got to the hotel. So I ate alone in the downstairs diner. It was an enjoyable meal and yes it would have been nice to have someone to talk to but I did come alone. At the hospital there were people that came the day after me and I got to talk with them (they were much nicer and sociable ). I stayed an extra day at the hotel (already planned as I could not get a flight on my discharge day) and rode back to San Diego with them.

Just go room to room and introduce yourself.

I just finished the fettucine carbonara and a margarita. They are all so nice here. I just want to go get in the bed but I need to go over all the papers Yolanda gave me. I think the travel along with the anxiety leading up to getting here is a little much. If I had to do it again, I would have travelled yesterday instead.

I am sure I will feel better in the morning.

Hi,

You are going to be just fine. I had Dr. Aceves do my surgery 3 years ago. An amazing doctor--and his staff are fabulous. So I just wanted to say when you get home, if you have any questions or just want to talk, please feel free to contact me. I am here for you every step of the way.

Hugs,

Suzanne

How are doing? Let us know when you feel up to it!

[HDubSleevery 25]

I am doing great. Lots of gas and drain pain, but it is being managed well. My nausea is being managed too. I have walked a couple of times and not having too much difficulty. I'm going back to la la land now. Will post more later!

Awesome, I am glad to hear you are well. You are in good hands. Get your rest

[HDubSleevery 25]

Thank you all. Suzanne I will probably be calling you once I get home.
