I'm here all gowned and IV'd up. I'm the last patient today so the Surgeon is running a little late. I'm hungry now. Even with the iv....I'm sooooo thirsty.

What a great post, thanks so much for sharing! I am scheduled for surgery August 1, and this was exactly what I needed to see this morning. I pray that your recovery continues to be amazing!
