Today's My Day!
About to leave for the hospital, surgery scheduled for 11:45 AM. Just so excited! Not too terribly nervous (yet!) I have had such great with my surgeon, his staff, the hospital staff so far ~ can't tell you how all of that has settled my nerves down. My support group is awesome too!
Haven't told anyone in my family or friends other than my husband about what's happening. Work only knows medical leave for a few weeks. My mom has severe dementia so no need to tell her. I wanted to wait until it's done to tell my son and daughter in law. It's been a bit lonely in not being able to talk openly about it. 1 friend *****cently went through VS knows and has been so great.
I'm just looking forward to being on the "Loser's Bench!"

Prayers coming your way for a smooth surgery and recovery. Remember to take meds., get up using a pillow over stomach, and walk around the halls it will be good for the gas pains, drink as often as possible and don't forget about popsicles if you want them. Good luck!
P.S. Remember a pillow for the ride home, too.
