Day before Surgery

May 02, 2011

Nervous / Scared / Exited is what best describes me at this point. Tomorrow is the BIG day! I have to get up at 5:30 to get myself ready. The hospital wants me showered before I come and I also have to get my daughter ready ( she won't like getting up that early ), plus it is over an hour drive to St. Cloud where I am dropping off my daughter with my sister, and having my surgery at 8:30.  I cannot have anything to eat or drink after midnight, exept to take my medication in the morning, so I think I am going to drink a bunch of water before I go to bed, so I dont feel dehydrated all day tomorrow when I cannot drink anything. The things I am bringing to the hospital are.... my pillow, tons of socks, a heavy sweatshirt, down blanket (I am never warm enough), my meds, a book ( just in case ), earplugs (noise drives me crazy), cell phone ( I wonder if I can use it?), toothbrush/ paste, shampoo conditioner, lotion, comfy clothes, contact case, ipod, insurance cards, and drivers license....hmmm I hope I am not forgetting anything important. I don't function too well at an early hour, this is why I am making this list now. Wish me luck!
