7 more days....

Oct 22, 2010

I'm so frigg'n nervous!!! Am i making the right decision?  I've seemed to lose pounds just by eating right...but i know deep down that it won't last for long unless i use the tool i'm about to receive. 

My husbands grandpa Subia passed away yesterday morning.  Such a sad day.  He was 92 and a World War II Korean Vet. The stories he would tell me...about storming the beaches and just surviving.  Anyway, the family decided to have the funeral next friday..day of my surgery!!! Made me upset cause I worked & fought so hard to get this surgery date and everyone asked if i can change it.  My husband is upset cause he's the first grandchild, named after his grandfather & pallbearer, so naturally he should be there..no doubt about it.  I explained to him that he can take me to the hospital @ 5:30am stay with me until 7:30 am (surgery time) and he can leave.  I'm going to be so out of it that there really isn't any reason for him to hang around.  The hospital will have his phone number, so no big deal.  Anyway, he can come afterwards.

The nurse called me to explain what i need to stop taking & what i should have for my liquid diet day.  I have actually stopped grocery shopping for 2 people, and shopped mainly for my husband last night.  We bought a regular pack of steaks and freezer bags (among other items). First time we ever separated meat and made them into 1 meal packages....what i life changing experience this will be.  So cute of my husband to buy a tri-tip and wants to bbq it this weekend for me (he KNOWS i love tri-tip)

My mom & sister are so nervous for me.  Scared is the word i should use.  All i can do is reassure them that i'm in good hands and everything will be fine. I kind of wish i would have told them my surgery date was about 1 week later....gotta love family!!!  My stomach is in knots!!!!!!!!!!
