Leaving For The Hospital! Surgery Today =)

I am surprisingly calm. I'm sure that will change as soon as I walk through the hospital doors.

Please send some positive vibes and thoughts my way, I could really use it.

Thanks friends!

Went for a short walk yesterday..got tired really fast. Was able sit for a bit..mouth is very clamy...now I'm up trying to drink 2oz of Water liquid Protein and Crystallight...only thing I can handle right now is water.. Crystal light is too sweet cramps my stomach. Blowing in that tube just isn't happening. No gas pains but every time I butler I feel light I want to throw-up...
