Pre-op visit.....

Apr 09, 2008

Today I went to Lexington Medical Center in Columbia SC to have my pre-op done. That took about 1 hr or so. Then I had a vascular study done. Everything went well. So the next appointment I have is for my filter placement and that is April 21. Today I am feeling a little down because I have a lot on my mind and have to make a big decision. Well I made my choice but now can I live with the choice I made......I will have to pray hard about it and sleep on it.I just want it all to work out and not to have any worries later. I have discussed it with my best friend and explained to her my opinion and my choice and she said it could be just between us and I think that is how I am going to do this. She understand where I am coming from and she  gave me her honest answer to my question. Whewwww...... I had to have to chose between things.
I may talk about it another time but right now is not the time.
I'll be back at my next appointment. Take care until then.

One month away.....

Apr 02, 2008

As I look at the calendar I have one month before my surgery. I am getting excited more and more. I am now on the diet that they want you to go on before your surgery and it is very hard to stick to it because I never really stuck to one in the past. I hope that my willpower kicks in and takes over. I have been craving for some chocolate ice cream so I went out and bought me some sugar-free kind and it helped a lot.
So anyone with suggestions on what I can do to past the time let me know. Otherwise I will keep you up dated.



Today is a gloomy day....

Mar 25, 2008

Today for me is a little gloomy. I for the first time have sat down and actually thought about my pre-op diet, my surgery and I'm not afraid of the surgery part but sticking to my pre-op diet is what I am afraid of. I am so scared of failing yet again on another diet. I need the will power to be able to do what I need to do. If anyone out there have any advice please feel free to share it with me. I would love to have it.
Ask the weeks quickly passes away I am getting excited about the surgery. I have my next appointment on April 9th and thats for my vascular studies to be done.  Enough with my whinning... life goes on. I pray to Jehovah and He will see me though.
Have a great day.

Pre_op class.....

Mar 18, 2008

Today I went for my pre-op class where they explained the surgery, food intake and about IVC filters.... I was a very informal class and I did learn a lot. We also talked about pre-surgery diet. The protein shakes I don't know about that one, 2 a day with a sensible dinner. Ummm Yummm. I am looking forward to this.
Also... A dear friend of mine( Who I really like...A LOT) told me that he was going to be there for my surgery. That really made me feel good. I look forward to having him there.
So oh well.... To new beginnings.... My next appointment is April 9,2008 when I go for my vasular study and my pre-op with the doctor.
