Are you standing at the door, with your bags packed? How's everyone's pre-planning going? I don't have a liquid diet to follow, so it's just wait, wait, wait. I'm so nervous and excited!

I had my pre-op appointment at the hospital today. It went smoothly other than having 2 kids in tow and the 3 year old spilling her water on the chair in the exam room. Luckily, the nurse has a 16 year old and a 7 month old, so she understood. There is one new thing I'm nervous about. They gave me a special soap to wash with 3 times prior to the surgery to make sure my skin is as clean as possible. However, I have three boils where my waistband and bra are that become inflamed with the heat. The nurse told me to call the doctor to make sure they wouldn't be an issue. I spoke to the nurse at the doctor's office and he said to call back tomorrow to tell him how they are. 2 have drained and will be healed by Monday, but I have one that may not have fully healed by then. Fingers crossed that it won't be an issue that causes a delay - I've been on the liquid diet since the Monday after Father's day and my niece is flying in on Friday to take care of my 3 year old (the older two will be at overnight camp all next week, which is why I scheduled it for the 1st).
