Surgery in the morning!

Mar 14, 2010

Well, the day is finally coming - in the morning I will have the surgery. Everyone has been told, all the kids and wives and husbands - and grandchildren have to be included in the mix now. It surprises me because I have always told the grandchildren things through their parents; but, now, some of them are very young adults but they want to be told too. It is so cute!

I have been on clear liquids, have taken my mag citrate solution (lemon - yum!!); and decided to remain NPO after the mag till after this is over. It is amazing that I have eaten my last normal meal (yesterday - fish and chips).  I fixed my husband a wonderful chicken casserole he can enjoy while I am in the hospital. It was very strange not to "taste" to make sure it was right.  That is a habit I have probably always done without even knowing how many calories I was actually eating!  Down with old habits!!

Good luck to all who have surgery in the next few days, weeks, months.  I will write afterwards as soon as possible because the notes and comments of those who have gone before have helped me so much!  Thank you all.
