I've been fine this whole journey (psych eval,special test and etc) but when I dropped off my son at my parents he's 3 it finally hit me I'm having surgery today at 11am and I'm so nervous not nervous because of the recovery but nervous that it will take me a while before I can pick up my toddler and that is killing me even though he's pretty independant for a 3 Yr old he still likes me to carry him like a baby to his bed im just a ball of emotions right now

It sounds like jitters are hitting. I'm going to be the same way, I'm sure.

You'll be back with him in no time.

Let us know how it's going.

Good thoughts and all that, ok!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
