One week from today I'll be having surgery! I have an appointment today for a pre op physical and I think blood work. I'm crossing my fingers my hemoglobin level is within range, as it has been low before. I'm scared it will get canceled if its low.

I'm hoping I adjust after surgery. I'm on three weeks of liquids after. How long do you have?

I can start purred foods April 12.

That's nice. I can start a few days after you do. Then after a week of that soft foods for a week and back to "normal" foods...whatever that may be. Drank my last 2 oz of milk of magnesia. Ready for bed but I have a feeling I won't be able to sleep much. Excitement and nerves are kicking in!

230 am what did I tell ya @@kamcar616 lol....now I hope to sleep for a bit

140 here. I'm wide awake. Did not sleep very good. Need to leave in about 45 minutes. It was snowing here when I went to bed. I'm hoping that I can sleep on the drive, I'm not very pleasant when I don't get my sleep.

Not sure I will sleep at all....everything is running through my head. Good luck today. Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.

You bet I will! Good luck to you too!! We've got this!

How are you doing ladies?! I'm up and walking around. I was really nauseous in the beginning but am not starting to come around. Have been up walking and got myself dressed. The pain surprisingly isnt awful.

Haven't been up yet. A lot of pain :-(

How's your pain? Its 440am here. Mine hasn't been awful. A few internal aches here and there but I was up walking by myself last night. Doing my swallow test around 8. Trying to sleep until then because my throat is SORE! Can wait to take a sip of water

Swallow test is soon. Still in a lot of pain. Sitting up in a chair but no walking yet

Oh no. Good luck, I hope you can get up walking soon. I started my water. It feels different. Sore when I drink but its manageable. .the swallow test drink is nasty!

Swallow test done good to go.. up and walking. Still have a cath and central line.

I got lucky no cath and my iv is out!

Having major pain issues, not sure I will be going home Friday.
