DS surgery less than 2 days away....
May 31, 2009
I am a jumble of nerves...trying to remember everything that I have learned. Cut back to liquids today as I will be doing the Buchwald bowel prep tomorrow. That is freaking me out worse than the actual surgery. I still feel somewhat traumatized from the colonoscopy that I had 2 months ago and this will be double.I finally told my sisters. I sent them both an e mail. Colleen called within moments of reading the e mail. There were tears. Mine. She was upset that I hadn't shared this news with her. I explained that I have issues with my family judging me. She assured me that I had no reason to be concerned about that and was extremely supportive. Sandy will get her e mail when she gets to work tomorrow. DH finally looked at the illustrated version of the DS. I really wanted him to know what Dr Buchwald was going to do to me. He was okay with the illustrated version....baby steps. He wasn't quite as open minded about my health directive. Well, I am finished with chores. Had a wonderful lasagna dinner with in-laws and DH last night. I will make a few calls tonight and in the morning. I do believe that I am ready. I am eager to get started with my new life.
