OT: Having Surgery in the Morning

Hi!
For me today is a bit stressful because I am having surgery tomorrow....very early in the morning so I have a lot to get done before I drop off Buddy to his vacation kennel and I leave for surgery tonight.  I'm starting to feel a bit nervous...a little ball of nervous energy....kind of moving things around but not accomplishing much...really need to go and vacuum the house.

I'm having my last major round of plastic surgery...the Inner Thighs (long incision) and I am having my arms re-done (2nd full Brachioplasty...ugh),  plus some small revision to very top of the TT incision by the breasts and maybe a revision to the left nipple.  A LOT of cutting so it will be a lot of recovery.  I already know the inner thigh is the most painful of all the surgeries and the hardest recovery....I've been mentally trying to prepare myself for this. 

I have prepared plenty of healthy food and snacks to take with me to the facility I will staying for a couple of days....I don't want to rely on pkg'd or fast foods for the next couple of weeks so I'm taking a bunch of meals I froze and a container of protein shake powder (I've done this with each surgery and it helps me stay on track with my food.....this is important because I will not able to exercise for a few weeks....even walking is a problem for 3-4 weeks!
OK, I've rambled on long enough...maybe I am more nervous than I first thought....

Anyhow I won't be posting for a couple days so I will wish you all well.   Prayers of any kind are very much appreciated!

Thanks Karen C. for continuing the daily exercise thread for me.

Catch up with you all in a few days when I hopefully have smaller thighs and unwrinkled arms.

In the meantime, here is the WLS fairy   to sprinkle her fair dust on you.  You're gonna be even more gorgeous!
