I can't believe it's tomorrow!

May 17, 2010

After 18 months of solid preparation it's finally here! There is a strange calm within me, although if I think about the fact that I haven't yet packed for the hospital, I might get a little anxious! It's not like the planner in me to not even be packed yet. I guess that just shows how chill I am about it all. I'm so ready that there's not really much room for nerves or fear. I'm sure there'll be plenty of time for that tonite when I'm trying to sleep and tomorrow before I go into surgery. I just talked to my sis and she assured me that once I get the IV in, I won't remember a thing until I wake up 5 minutes (but actually several hours) later. That's the part I'm looking forward to! The way I look at it, it's everyone on the outside who's awake and waiting for me to come out of surgery who will be nervous. I've actually got it easy!!!!! I think I've got all the preparations taken care of at home and now it's just time to pack and try to get some rest tonight. I'm sure that's easier said than done, but I guess I'll have lots of time to rest in the upcoming weeks while I'm recovering. That is, when I'm not walking every 1-3 hours to prevent clots!
