Morning of the surgery

Aug 04, 2011

It's a few hours before my surgery, and I think I'm going to be sick!

Oh my goodness, I did not think I was going to get this nervous!  Normally, I'm not one to worry much (if at all), so I'm really surprised at how sick to my stomach I am over this.  I could barely sleep last night; so many thoughts going through my head!  Mostly, "Will it go okay?"  And despite telling myself, "It will be fine," "Dr. Alvarez is one of the best in the world at this," and, "Thousands of people have done this already without problems," I still get nervous.  Funny how the body/mind does that to you.

Plus, I am parched!  We were not allowed to eat anythihng after 11:30pm last night, and I am so thirsty!  It's probably  more a state of mind because I know I can't drink anything, but nonetheless...

Okay, well, time to go; my ride is here.
Wish me luck!
