Laced up- yay! Military family! :)

He won't leave till I'm 3 weeks post op... So that's good. I do have a few GF's here... But I'm really setting things up for him/our kids. He works constantly so he won't be much help anyway. LOL! I have frozen casseroles for the kids, and tons of broths/mushies for me. So I'll be fine!

Dee you are the only other 28th that I have seen. Counting down. When do you start your pre-op diet? I saw nutritionist yesterday. Start on Monday. Excited for the home stretch of waiting. Been very emotional. My poor boyfriend deserves a medal for putting up with me.

I just got my date today! Mine is the 28th also!

My surgery is October 15 at 7:30 am. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am!!! Sunday, a tooth I got a root canal in 15 years ago starting hurting. By evening the pain was really bad. I used one of my husband's pain pills from a car wreck he had in July. Even that didn't control the pain. Went to dentist Monday and he referred me to Endodontist. That office x-rayed my tooth and determined I have a crack in my tooth and that it is infected around where the roots used to be. He prescribed better pain meds and a Z-pak to cut the infection. I go back tomorrow afternoon so he can extract the tooth and clean around it. Hopefully the tooth won't crumbled and can be reinserted. If not, I have to get a partial bridge or implant.

I've been careful to ask for pain meds with Tylenol to kill toothache pain. The liquid diet isn't bothering me cause I can't chew anything anyway. What a time to have this since my Surgery is next Tuesday, 10/15.
