First off, I had my pre op appt yesterday. It was fantastic. Strangely enough I never made that appointment, they called on Tuesday to remind me of my appt and so I went. First I was weighed (of course) and I sat with the Physicians Assistant as she went over everything that will happen leading up to the surgery day.... In just under 25 days, but who is counting. I was given SIX prescriptions and told to fill them right away. They are....
TRANSDERM-SC: A patch I put behind my ear the night before surgery for nausea.
Emend: A very strong anti emetic that I take three hours before surgery
Oxycodone: For post op pain
Omeprazole: aka Prilosec.... we all know what that is for
Zofran: For post op nausea/vomiting and if this should fail....
Promethazine: Anti emetic in suppository form
15 days until pre op diet starts.
So I had a dream last night, I dreamt that I was awake when they stapled my incisions. First off I know they don't staple the incisions, they don't even use steri strips, they use surgical glue. I woke up to my dog kicking me in the stomach with her poky nails....
I am starting to get quite nervous. Time is going so quickly, it is unreal. I am so looking forward to getting on the loosers bench!
