Lol same to you. How are you doing with your liquid diet?

Ugh! I am so upset! I just got a call from the Doc. office. They said my EKG had an abnormality. Now I have to go see a Cardiologist before I can have my surgery. I just want to cry. I am kind of upset because my EKG was done while I was sitting up, not lying down. Can't see the Cardiologist till Monday for a consult. If they do any testing it could be 2 weeks. That would put me into March. I know nothing is wrong but I also know that with my family history of heart problems there is no way the Doc. will just do another EKG and say it's ok.

Also, my husband travels every week. He was taking a week off to be with me so we need to know ahead that I will have it or not. So, sadly, at this point, have no choice but to push it back at least a week, probably two. On day six of pre-op. Now have to keep it up for an extra two weeks. :(

Will make an exception tonight and have a glass of wine but will stay with the diet.

I know. I still just want to cry. So ready for this. I just need for my heart to catch up to my head.

I will be rooting you on though. I won't be far behind.

Thank you. That means a lot to me right now. Maybe it's for the best. Leaving in the morning. Have to go out of town for a family funeral. Several people depending on us right now. Sometimes things happen for a reason.

Mine is on Tuesday the 19th. I was really nervous before the surgery date, now I'm like LET'S DO THIS!!! I think I'm mostly excited to just be not hungry. This pre-op liquid diet is pure hell for me.

Very true. Your family is in my prayers

Mine is on Monday the 18th, and I am right there with you! I am so ready! This pre op diet really sucks for me too.

I'm a couple of days out and I'm still waiting for something to come up and bite me on the butt! We'll see today, I have my pre-op registration meeting w/ the hospital at 1pm today.
