Getting sleeved in the morning
I can't believe I'm getting sleeved in the morning, seems like the day has gotten here so fast! I'm about to pack my bag for the hospital. I'm super nervous but trying to stay busy today. Our sitter just backed out on us, so we're scrambling to find someone else. i don't know what I was thinking not having a back up plan, but you don't expect family to back out at the last minute.
I had my surgery on the 1st so this is day 3 post-surgery for me. The morning I went in to the hospital I took a valium to address that nervousness you spoke of. It helped a lot! Good luck with the sitter thing. My two kids are grown and gone, thankfully, cuz it would be a very hard recovery time trying to take care of small children! It IS a fairly major surgery and there is a fair amount of pain associated with the recovery. Hang in there! Good luck...keep looking LONG, as these early days are NOT a whole lot of fun, but it will be worth it all in the long run!
I'm getting sleeved in the morning too. My upsets were yesterday. Started out the day with a number of errands to run and it was pouring down rain and getting chilly. Went to the pharmacy first to pick up the drugs the doctor ordered, one of which I have to take at 5:30 in the morning. The pharmacy told me Friday that these prescriptions would be ready for me to pick up Saturday. When I got there, though, they said they couldn't fill two of them and would have to put them on order. One of those two prescriptions they couldn't fill was the one I have to take at 5:30 in the morning. Then I tried calling several pharmacies to discover everyone was out and the manufacturer wasn't refilling new orders until the 8th of December. Finally, I put a call into my doctor's phone service since his office is closed for the weekend and discovered he was out of town until late today. I was so upset I accidentally locked myself out of my car - something I've never done in the 40 years I've been driving. So, there I was, standing outside my locked car in the cold rain, worried about not getting the prescriptions the doctor ordered, starving, and bordering on pitiful. Thank goodness for OnStar being able to open my car door! Then, after I got into my car, an associate in my doctor's office sent me a message that they could take care of those two prescriptions at the hospital - not to worry about it. Before that call was over, the pharmacist that failed on the prescriptions came out to my car and told me they'd found the most important prescription - the one I need first thing tomorrow morning - at a pharmacy right across the road. Got it! I'll get the other one at the hospital or at the all night pharamcy when I get back from the hospital on Tuesday. Shopping at the store was horrid too. A carton of vegetable broth leaked all over the robe I wanted to buy after these things were in my shopping cart. It was the only robe that fit me so I bought it as I'd wa**** before wearing it anyway. Couldn't find everything I needed so had to go to two other stores before I was finally satisified that I'm supplied enough for today, tomorrow, and about a week after when I can drive or my daughter can come get me and take me shopping.
So, today, it is still storming but all I've got to do is packing and getting the house ready for the freezing weather rolling in tonight and tomorrow. Don't want to come home to a freezing house. Have to leave enough cat food out for the critters to last them unil Wednesday just in case. Someone will come and take care of them if I'm out longer. They're going to miss their morning and evening wet food rituals for a couple of days.
You're going to be okay. I'm going to be okay. There are some others having their surgery in the morning and they are going to be okay too. December 5th is going to be a good day for all of us.
I'd still really like to eat solid food but I can make it as I'm telling myself it is just today and then it will be okay.
P.S. I'm not blathering or anything.

I am getting sleeved in the morning as well! I am so nervous and scared ,but I know in my heart I am doing this to be healthier and happier . I have 4 children my baby is 18 months so death is my worst fear. Lots of prayers and and nervous calls to my mom have eased my fears a lot but some will remain until I wake up on the flip side :)
