Ok so tomorrow AM I go in the the Victoria Hospital in Winnipeg for my sleeve gastrectomy. I am thrilled, excited, a little anxious(mostly for afterward) and did I mention excited???I am feeling kinda weird though, I have told almost no one in my life. My parents don't know, my in laws don't know. Only my immediate family and a handful of friends. I wish I could rejoice in telling them, but I honestly don't want to hear any negative comments before I go in. Not sure I want to hear them after either..who knows? Figuring out the childcare has been though since I have told almost no one..I think we have it all figured out though. If we don't tomorrow morning will be interesting to say the least..LOL I refuse to stress over it though..it will work out one way or another.
I am worried about my baby girl, who is still nursing and wakes up at night to nurse still. Not sure how that will pan out after surgery. I am sure my hubby will manage her for the nights I am not home. Once I am home though, I wonder how I will do? She sleeps with us..so I will have to avoid her little feet in my tummy..lol I might have to sleep elsewhere for a while..just hope it's not too long. :( She is what keeps me warm at night! Also I am not meant to lift more than 10lbs for 2 weeks..ugh! That will make diaper changes interesting. Hopefully my oldest borrowed son(17yrs) will lift her up for me and take her down after. Which means he will have to get his sorry butt up early in the AM..LOL
I am trying to not over think anything, because I have surprised myself with how resilient I can be. The only thing I am not sure of is how the anesthetic will affect me after wards. Oh well..if I need more help I will get more help.
I thank God for this gift He is allowing me to have and I promise to be diligent with caring for it as well as I can! I got some good soul food at church today and I am ready to face this challenge with His help! I know I can't do it all on my own power..but seems to me He has some to spare..LOL
So to all those having surgery tomorrow..all around the world..God Bless and Good Luck!! here's to us!!!
