23 HOURS!

Nov 07, 2010

In 23 hours I will be getting stripped, IV'd, interviewed (OK interrogated really), drugged, and ready for my RNY! I woke up today and laid in bed for a few minutes and realized I was really scared for about a minute and a half. Then I got up and weighed myself (last another 1.5 pounds) and ate some jello. So far today I have had 24oz fluid meal-like substitutes (jello, water, broth, etc). I would kill for some Dairy Queen Ice right now and some apple juice, but I don't have any as of yet. I might have to fix that later today.

I still have to do major grocery shopping, not just for me but its that time of the month for the entire family. (They whine if you don't feed them.) I still have to finish packing too. I am taking what they told me to bring and a few other things for the trip to the hospital.

Hospital List they Gave Me:
Robe - Yea I made me one, no cold butt for me!
Slippers - $5 clearance sale at walmart!
Lip Balm - I am a MK lady so I had LOTS of that!
Pillow - Smell like home, maybe, EWW!
Lotion or Powder - Sure there is a good reason, but don't know why yet.
Discharge clothing - VERY big and loose I have been told. Sore tummy and all.
Toothbrush & Toothpaste - No morning breath for me and the hospital cuts cast not giving them to you. I understand that.
Deodorant - Self explanatory.
Glasses Case - I wear them don't want them broken.
Shampoo - Same savings for toothpaste plus purdy hair.

My Add-on List:
Tic Tacs - I get car sick, for the ride home.
MP3 Player w/Headphones - Cant hear ghost talking to me and relaxing when I'm under stress. Works for the dentist.
Camera - Because my Mom is sadistic and wants pict of me right after I get in my room from surgery.
Laptop - WIFI is my friend, bet my hubby uses it more then me updating our family and friends.
Cell Phone -  I will get to use one after the first day of all goes well. Let the call ignore commence! (No not really, yes, no, OK.)

I also am trying to put together a list of the bill we pay this week. I am pre-scheduling as many as I can because I might forget, pain killers and all. So Wulf has a list so he can check on it, oh and the passwords, I guess that would help too. he-he. What would our men do without us. The kids would be hungry, stinky and wearing trash bags to school maybe? Lucky for me Wulf is pretty smart.

NOTE TO JENNA: That chicken broth you gave me, not so good. EWWW! Saving it for soup later.
