Tomorrow is the Big Day!
So I missed a couple of days blogging. We have been having internet problems and hopefully that is all behind us now!
So I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am tomorrow for my 7:30 am surgery. I am not a morning person so the sooner they put me under anesthesia so I can sleep, the better :) Seriously, I am really not nervous at all. I have had quite a few surgeries in my life so for the most part I know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised earlier this evening when I received a phone call from a Dr. Gardner who said he will be my anesthesiologist tomorrow and he wondered if I had any questions. I have never had a call from one of the docs involved in a surgery before. I am more and more impressed with Parker Adventist Hospital the more I deal with them.
Today was Day 7 of the liquid diet. For those of you who are pre-op, it really wasn't that bad. I highly recommend that you add broth and sugar free jello to your regime. I didn't the 1st two days because I didn't understand that I could have them on this phase. When the dietitian in the doc's office told me that I was very happy and it helped so much!
Well, I am going to log off and get ready for the big experience! I'm sure it will be a while before I get back on here but I will have lots to share!
Congratulations Colleen! You're doing wonderfully, I'm so happy you're taking on this journey -- you'll do fabulously well at it!
