16 Hours Away!
Hello!
16 hours away! I have to be at Fairview University at 9:00 a.m. My son arrived home last night -- his plane finally came in at 6:30 p.m. - about 2-1/2 hours late. Some of it had to do with the big snow storm. I made it through bowel prep -- today is clear liquids, taking the 3 doses of Flagyl and 3 showers with Techni-Care starting at 6 p.m., 10 p.m. and then in the morning. I met with my therapist this afternoon - that was helpful. I feel somewhat anxious today,
I'm sure that will get a little worse by tomorrow morning! I'm so thankful for all the good wishes and prayers
on my behalf. My BMI is now 49 due to my pre-op weight loss
That is down from my beginning BMI of about 52-56, depending on the beginning weight # that is used. I think I've lost 5 pounds just in the last 2 days from bowel prep and liquids
! Well -- lots yet to get done -- better sign off for now -- I'll try to write again before I leave for the hospital! Wish me luck!
