SURGERY in 3 days Tues Oct 11, 2011

Oct 07, 2011

Well time is coming up. I am a bit worried. I met with the anesthisiologist at my PATTS appointment this week and he kind of scared me a bit. He said that my surgery will be a complicated due to my other previous surgeries. My gall bladder surgery cut me half way across my abdomen and my hysterectomy due to stage 1 ovarian cancer got a major infection in the hospital that tooks months to clear up and heal. That surgeon told me that when she tried to go up inside my abdomen to take biopsies of my organs she could not because of the scar tissue from my gall bladder surgery. So he doubts that Dr Hagen will get my surgery done in the time frame he allotted (2 and a half hours). 

I just have to put my faith in God and Jesus to help me. 

But enough doom and gloom. I have been so good following my optifast and not cheating. I actually really like it now as I blend it with Tim`s decaf. The chocolate is so good I even lick the spoon. Hopefully I have been able to shrink my liver enough to make the surgery easier. I watched a few videos on youtube showing the whole surgery. It doesn`t look too bad. My spine surgery next May will be riskier but by then I should have lost significant weight.

It will be a sunny warm Thanksgiving week-end and I will go out on my balcony to feel some of those healthy rays from heaven. I just want my surgery to be over with and to be home recovering. I did a shop at Walmart today to make sure I am ready with my small eats and drinks. I will only think positive and not let negative thoughts into my head. I only want the positive endorphans doing their job to make me get through this well.

Wish me luck and say a little prayer for me. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
