NINE MORE DAYS!!

Dec 06, 2009

EEEeeep! I start clear liquids tomorrow. I am now experiencing caffeine withdrawal and have the headach from Hell. That's ok. I can deal with this.

I'm a little nervous about AFTER the surgery. I figure Dr. Cottam has done this surgery so many times, he could likely perform it in his sleep. Though I would rather he did not. I have my chewable vitamins, chewable calcium citrate, liquid Tylenol, sublingual B12, protein powder samples, broth, 6 kinds of SF Jello, Crystal Lite and SF gum. My husband's plane lands on December 18th at 3:50 pm. The paperwork for short term disability will be faxed to Aetna tomorrow and I've had my fill of cookies.

Life, my friends, is good.

On the other side of the coin, I will be drawing up the Living Will before the end of the week. Gee, my paralegal training is actually going to be put to use! LOL

Tonight, for my "Last Supper", the kids and I are going over to the in-laws for homemade tamales and beans. Every year, Mom and her siblings get together and make tamales the first weekend in December. Mmmmmmm. Can't think of anything better.

I'm looking forward to this, especially the changes that I will see in the next 6 months. The WLS group I go to took my "BEFORE" picture on Saturday. They made me feel good. I had two of the ladies tell me that they don't know where I'm putting the weight, but it doesn't look like I have 150 lbs to lose. Nice.

I'm hoping that this week goes quickly and smoothly and I pray that the surgery goes well. It's all I can do, right?
