3 days away!

Feb 01, 2010

My surgery is only three days away now. I have started my clear liquids diet and I am hungry! I am experiencing a myriad of emotions, not the least of which is nervousness and a little bit of panic, but I know that both my kids and my parents are not sure about the surgery and are looking at me to know how to react to the idea. If I freak out, they'll freak out ten fold which is not going to be good for any of us, so I am trying to keep my emotional ups and downs to myself.

I have been running around like crazy making sure I have everything ready - from my clear liquids, sugar free popsicles, protein powders and vitamins, to movies and books to fill the time with. Last night we took my before pictures (painful!), and today I bought a big load of groceries so the kids and husband will have something to eat and hopefully I won't need to shop for a few weeks.

My husband Shawn and I are driving down to Utica tomorrow night (it's about a 3 1/2 hour drive). I have some pre-op stuff to do and an appt with the nutritionist on Wednesday, then Thursday is the big day. I have to be honest - I am a bit nervous but I am a lot excited. If you read this, maybe you could take a moment and send some good thoughts my way!
