2 days to go................
Dec 21, 2008
Today I have spent the day getting things ready - for Post surgery and Christmas. With lots of help from my husband I have gotten all of the presents wrapped - whew! For some reason today has been harder with the protein shakes............Of course it could be because I fell of the wagon BIG TIME last night. Of all the strange things for me to cheat with I had saltines with cream cheese on them ..........A LOT of them - like 3/4 of a sleeve of crackers!!!!! I have to say with all those carbs in my tummy I did sleep well.............But now it's crunch time and I have to be GOOD - today and tomorrow SHAKES and water only!!!!! I have been really calm about surgery but this morning I found myself getting a little teary eyed. Not because I'm scared - because strangely I'm not!- just feeling anxious and overwhelmed. A lot of things will happen in the next week and the 2 biggest on my radar are mine and my son's surgery - but that's not all that will happen...........I wish I could just close my eyes and wake up one week later with both my son and I doing well - Christmas over and successfully received by all. It seems I've been so mono focused on this one event( surgery and all of the pre-op requirements) since last June and I look forward to focusing on something else.I have stocked up on some Post op items - Isopure, Gatorade, need to get Jello - maybe should get some Popsicles for my son -I'll never like Popsicles. Got broth in the freezer and "good" holiday foods for the other 2 boys and my husband. Got my heating pad and comfy jammies awaiting my return. Had Netflix send some good films - just hope we don't have trouble getting POST op Rx's filled on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day...........I WILL want my pain med's!...what am I forgetting????
I have been so lucky to this point - everything has fallen into place with very few small bumps along the way. I almost worry that my luck could run out...........................nope - don't go there. Shake that off! Again, I wish I could just wake up in 7 days and this all be over.......................... more tomorrow.
