Surgery Date 4/30/14

Hello my name is Nita. I am having surgery tomorrow and I am losing my mind. I have no family support. Everyone in my family thinks I have lost my mind because I choose to take control of my life. I just need encouragement. I'm a little defeated :-(

    You guys doing better?

    It was a difficult night. I walked from the couch to the bed just trying to get comfortable. I was missing my Morphine

    pump ;-). I'm up this morning making a chart on my medication administration times as well as eating schedules. I am determined to succeed. I pray that everyone is doing well this morning.
