Losing it!

Just found out my surgery was moved up two hours which is wonderful because I was really not looking forward to having dry mouth for that long and hearing my stomach gurgle.

I told my 9 year old today in a very generic way and she is ok with it. Thankfully! Usually she is clingy with me and a drama queen.

Now I have to pack, take my before pictures, and take my measurements. My stomach is a mess!

I feel kind of weepy and nostalgic and sad. I guess just saying good bye to my old life that I was comfortable with is hard even though I know the future is going to be so much better!

Good luck on you journey to your new life

Just be patient a lil longer & u will be home in ur own bed soon & all this will be nothing more then a distant memory!

Hope that you get to go home tonight and possibly get some sleep!

Yea those things can definitely drive a person nuts.. I used to hit the silent button if they didn't come soon enough... they would yell at me for it but sorry I can not & will not sit & listen to tht noise for forever. I would hit the silent button & then press the call button like crazy lol!

I can't find a silent button, I wish!

I have to stay again tonight. After everything UHC put me through for the last two years I'm kind of glad they have to pay for an extra day, the bastards.

Cracked me up about UHC having to pay for an extra night. Hope tonight is better for you and you don't throw the pump out the window.

Well I'm all kinds of funny. My husband and j have a weird sense of humor. I asked him yesterday if it would be ok to say to my surgeon "it was a pleasure having you inside me." He said no. Lol. Hey it could have been worse!

OMG, you'd fit right in with me and my BFF. We've been friends since college and have the same type of sense of humor. Hope you get to go home today and feel better!

I can't wait to see how much I lost in the past few days. I actually got some sleep last night so that's awesome.

Hi I'm ok except in a lot of pain and they will only give me Lortab which Tylenol #3. I'm really pissed off. They are calling the dr to see if he will give me something else. I just had my stomach cut out, I didn't have tooth taken out! My back is killing me too.[/quote

That's all they would give you post surgery?! No pain pump?! You poor thing! I was on a diluadid drip for 2 days and needed every minute of it. Hang in there!
