Today is the day!!!
Hi everyone!
I am up getting ready for my big day! I did get some sleep, and feel pretty good that way. I have been very nervous and down right scared these last few days. I know I want the surgery, but I am worried about the operation and recovery. My cardiologist said that by loosing all the weight I have really decreased my surgical complication risks. That made me feel a littlie better, but I am still a worrier, so what can ya do?
Any way I am going to be at the I will be at the Women's Physicians Surgery Center 8081 Township Line Road 228-1100. I hope to have outpatient care, and go home by the evening. My surgery is to start at 6:00 so I should be out of the OR by 1or so. The nurse told me that I should be ready to go home by 4 or 5. If I need to stay they will have a room and two nurses for me, so I don't have to worry about needing to stay. I personally will feel much better in my own home with my Mom and husband taking care of me, but I may change my mind when I get out of surgery.
Jim will be with me all day and hanging out while I am being operated on, I think he is even more nervous than I am!!! He will call Pamela and let her know any important stuff so she can update you all.
I really appreciate all the prayers and thoughts and request them for a quick recovery and healing time!! Please!!! I will be off line for a few, but can get my laptop to work in my room as soon as I can move a bit! I am really going to try and stay still and do nothing, which will be a big challenge. My Dr. said that I will heal best if I am still!!! So God please help me stay still and let others do for me!
I have said goodbye to my tummy flap, and tiny thin boobs that need to be folded into my bra and can't wait for all the new improvements!!! So please everyone wish me luck!!
As always, blessings & hugs,
Carmen
