Surgery Date Changed

Jan 19, 2010

DATE CHANGE – Surgery is now a week from today – Tuesday January 26^th. I saw the surgeon yesterday and he was not happy with my surgery time of noon. He said he doesn’t like those because the person scheduled in the OR earlier usually goes over their reserved time and then we could have to wait a couple hours for my surgery. I remembered mom’s surgery being hours late for the same reason. After I got home from my appointment I got a message saying it was being switched from Thursday to Tuesday because they could get me in first thing. The downside to that is that instead of noon surgery with arrival at 9, I now have to arrive at 5:45 IN THE MORNING for my 7:45 a.m. surgery. I suppose its not a bad deal for me given that I get to go back to sleep. My husband and mother will be the ones to suffer the long day. LOL   I’m on day 5 of the liquid diet and surprisingly, its not really that bad. Its easier than the traditional diet. Since I am not “eating” at all, there is nothing to think about. On the regular diets, it requires planning and thinking about what to have. With this, I just grab a protein shake and my only choices are chocolate, strawberry or vanilla. Pretty easy.    One week from today sounds so close. I will spend the weekend getting things done around the house, a few last minute items purchased and errands run. I will work on Monday and then try to get some sleep on Monday night. I’m betting not much. 

I'm hoping this week goes by fast!!!

Oh and I also created a website so that family & friends could follow my journey and I didn't have to remember who i told what to.   www.caringbridge.com/visit/amymugnolo
