4 more days!!!  I don't know what to feel right now.  It seems so surreal that in 4 days I will be under the knife.  I guess at this point I am less concerned about dying or food issues and more concerned about pain.  I am terrified it will hurt so bad I won't be able to stand it.  It's funny, I have always been able to tolerate pain well.  Giving birth - no problem, but put me in a dentist's chair and I scream.  So I am freaking that I won't be able to tolerate the pain.  Also I am freaking that I don't want narcotics for pain pills cuz I know myself and I would like that WAY too much. 

Other than the pain issue I think I am ready.  I have all my pre-op stuff ready and I have all my post op clear liquid diet stuff.  Sugar free jello, popsicles, chicken broth, etc.  I just hope it all goes without complication.  I spent all day yesterday doing laundry, cleaning house, and mowing the grass, etc.  Nothing worse than coming home to a dirty house.  Lets just hope it stays that way over the week-end while I am working.
