It's all happening!!
Oct 26, 2012
It's all happening! (This is one of my favorite lines from the movie "Almost Famous.") My RNY surgery is on Wednesday, October 31. I only have two full work days left before everything changes. (for the better, of course...i hope...of course.) This morning I got my pre-registration call with all my "be here at this time, surgery is at this time, you will be in your room by this time, etc" instructions. For some reason I got super crazy nervous after that call. Somehow I guess it made everything more real. I found out I get my own private room in the hospital, though, so that was cheery news.
I'm a little apprehensive about my surgery being just before all of the holiday festivities. My brother has been joking around with me that he's going to eat all of "my" turkey at Thanksgiving. While I know he's just being silly, I'm worried that I'll feel left out somehow, not being able to take part in the food traditions of my family. Rationally, I'm glad - I think having everything revolve around food is not ideal, and am excited to find ways around that, but at the same time, watching everyone eat things that I can't or shouldn't eat could be hard. I guess that remains to be seen...
But the good news is: It's all happening!!
