Surgery time!!

Surgery has been set at 1:00P on Tuesday, October 21.

What do I need to take with me????

- A change of LOOSE fitting clothes and slip on shoes
- Light reading
- Playing cards (brain on drugs worked long enough to play solitaire)
- Lip balm
- A few toiletries
- A sense of humor.

First day felt awful. Improved greatly after that. When they tell you to walk take them seriously. Walking left me with less pain and was defiantly something to fill the time. Concentrating on walking also left me with less room to think about the pain. But honestly the drugs they give you really help. It is the gas that hurts the most.

When they tell you to drink take them seriously. It will be a job but it is very important and something you must learn to do.

Thanks, Mac.
