Hola Maria, I just rec'vd ur hospital info via email today and i'm so excited for your upcoming date. I know u must be excited and nervous at the same time and the advice i can give u be4 hand is to get lots of sleep be4 cause the more well rested u are, the better your immune system will respond (the anesthesiologist told me that). And dont eat too much the 2 days be4 cause u dont want to have to go to the bathroom trying to have a bowel movent right after u come out of surgery so try to ween down on meals when your in that last week and have your big good last meal like the week be4...thats what i did and it helped cause i didnt have to go to the bano right afterwards and believe me going to the bathroom right after is pretty painful and difficult(especially the wipeing part). Make sure u get a FEW long handled bathbrushs with very,very soft brush at the end cause u will need it to wash up & one to wipe yourself after the using the bathroom in the begining while ur in the hospital & at 1st when u come home - its a lifesaver BELIEVE ME. U can get some good ones from the Drugstore Walgreens thats where i bought 3 of them from be4 i had my surgery and i took 2 of them with me to the hospital and i was sooooo grateful i had been told about those long bathbrushs ahead of time. Be Blessed Mama & talk to u soon! Luv, Maria P.S. AFTER YOUR SUGERY AND YOLANDA PEYTON's SURGERY, & U GUYS AND MYSELF ARE ALL FEELING BETTER...WE SHOULD ALL GET TOGETHER AND HAVE A NICE DAY OUT...MAYBE AROUND THE HOLIDAYS IF U GUYS ARE FEELING UP TO IT OR WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER AFTER THE NEW YEAR's OK.

Buenas Noches Maria, I'll be going over my test results with my surgeon on Thursday, God willing he would have received them all by then. Then my pcp will have to fill out the medical clearance. i'm excited and praying that nothing stop the surgery. I pray the same for you.
