Tomorrow
Congratulations on tomorrow. I hope you got yourself a lift recliner and potty riser, my two best friends during my first week of recuperation.

Good luck! I hope everything goes well! Be prepared to feel like death the first time you walk at the office but hopefully you'll feel better and better as each hour passes by :)!
ETA: I wasn't in pain. Just felt like a zombie (prob still from anesthesia) and it was SO difficult & exhausting to lift my feet off the floor just barely enough to shuffle. Within 2 hrs of being home, I was more awake & felt pretty good :).

Take someone with you who will keep bugging you to wake up and get out of bed, lol (unless you are spending the night in the hospital). If my husband had not kept telling me to wake up every few minutes, I'd probably still be crashed out in recovery.
Seriously, though, try not to stress out. They'll give you plenty of good meds to calm your nerves. The worst part of any surgery for me is when they either walk me into, or wheel me into the surgical room. I always hate that, because I don't like seeing all the "tools" they are going to be using. I like the surgeons who knock you out an then wheel you in so you don't have to see all that junk.
They best part is when the shadow of the anesthesiologist comes over you. The next thing you know, they are waking you up and telling you that everything went well. You'll be just fine. Be sure to let us know how it goes as soon as you are feeling up to it.
