Surgery date: May 14, 2013[/quote']

The first couple days it was like I was peeing every five minutes! It's settled down by now, thank goodness. Hope it does for you, too!

BUMMED. Dr.'s office called and needs to reschedule my surgery because my surgeon's travel arrangements have been changed. He doesn't have enough rest time before surgery. I am totally on the verge of tears. She is calling me back with a date. They are not even trying to work us into the schedule we basically go to the back of the line to get a new date. I told her I didn't think that was very fair. I have already taken off time from work and so did my husband.. Where's the Debbie downer music when you need it....

My new date is May 13th.

My new date is May 13th.

Ohh wow that's not that far away do you have to do the liquid diet

I saw my doctor for my pre-op visit... freaking out a little bit...

1 -> my 3 day liquid diet is a REAL liquid diet... only clear stuff... at least 2 of the days are on the weekend, I hope I don't kill anyone on that Friday at work!

2 -> I'll only be getting pain meds by pills, which leads me to believe that they won't be 'the good stuff', I have a pretty high tolerance for pain meds because I was on them for a long while. I'm not really worried that they won't give me what I need, just that I'll have to try a bunch of stuff that won't work while I'm in pain, ugh!

3 -> I have to go to a cardiologist for an eval, they don't think anything will be wrong but the dr said my heart rate has been a bit elevated when I've come to see him, sigh... that could be for a bunch of reasons tho, he has me on appetite suppressants, the last two times I've been there my blood sugar has been low and the walk to his office isn't short by any means either.

4-> He wants me to lose more weight before surgery, sigh... I was able to lose a bunch but in the last few weeks it hasn't been so easy. I'm hoping that it'll happen... although i don't think he'll turn me away the day of if I haven't... he said it was 'on the honor system' :P I really want to but it's so hard... duh... that's why i'm doing this!

5 -> I am to stop a med that I'm taking for cancer until a few days after the surgery... that's a little scary cause I'd rather be fat than to let the cancer grow again, it was approved by the oncologist but I haven't been seeing him long so it makes me a little nervous!

so I'm at work just staring at the computer about to burst... trying to blame it on what I'm working on... which deserves it... but isn't really it... it's getting closer!

oh yeah, and this too... so have any of you guys had people ask 'what can I do?' my dad keeps asking and I don't really have an answer other than nothing... I don't really want they to visit til I'm better because I feel like i have to entertain, they can't bring/send food. I feel bad saying, nothing, oh and stay away too!
