The Day Has Arrived!
Nov 24, 2008
I cannot even believe that the time has come! Tomorrow at 6am, my journey begins! I worked a half day today and at 1pm took my bowel prep juice and my meds. Let me tell you, I am not looking forward to drinking that stuff again in 4 hours! I am nauseous! VERY nauseous! This is the part that I hate! LOL! The surgery will be a piece of cake...right?

Getting Close!
Nov 04, 2008
I have been having a lot of anxiety the past few days! I finally called the program co-ordinator yesterday and she made me feel a little better. My surgery will be over in 3 weeks and I feel so unprepared. I do have my nutritional session and my PAT's next week so maybe I will feel better then!
