Its done and over with

Oct 18, 2007

I am home now.  Everything went well.  I did have to stay one night extra due to some unexpected pain.  Had my upper GI (yuck) and everything was clear.  REally glad to be home now and sitting in my chair.  Looking at going back to work a week from today.  Should be fine.  Going to walk today and sip water and force protien shakes.  Like I read weeks ago,  every day gets a little better.  I need to go out and buy a scale sometime, but no hurry. 

Friday night.

Oct 12, 2007

The countdown is in full swing for me.  Its Friday and as usual I am stuck at work.  The time has really flown by but I bet the next 2 days drag ass.  Tomorrow night is my last meal.  Sunday night will only have liquids.  Not prescribed but gonna do it anyways for my own piece of mind.  Nothing after midnight though.  
The hospital called me today for my pre screening for admitting me Monday night.  They asked me lots of questions that didn't seem to have any bearing to the surgery but whatever.  
Got lots of good lucks today from co-workers.  It was nice.  Still made me more nervous the more I thought about it.  They were all talking about whats going on Monday here at work and I was thinking where I would be while all that was going on.  Was really hard to focus on business.  OK its 10:50pm now and in an hour and ten minutes it will be Saturday officially and I can say "The day after tomorrow".

One week from now and............

Oct 08, 2007


OK its been 4 days since my last post and that is uncacceptable.


I have been looking at the clock all day today and wondering where I will be one week from that point.  At 7am this morning I was saying that I would be driving to the hospital
At 9am I was saying that I would be in pre op
At 11:30 I would be out like a light
At noon   I would be in recovery
At 5pm up in my room
Etc.......

Kind of weird I know but I BET that everyone reading this did the same thing a week before their surgery.  

Dreams

Oct 04, 2007

Well I am starting to have dreams about the surgery.  Not pretty ones either.  I have confirmation that this is normal from my support group so I am going to let it slip out of mind.  My mother has really gotten on the wagon with my surgery.  She sends me emails daily with how many days are left.  Its nice to see.  Well all for now.  In case you were wondering 11 more days.

Getting closer

Oct 03, 2007

12 days left.  Getting closer.  Not really nervous but.......well maybe at bit.  I did find out to my yesterday that I am getting a shot of blood thinner before and after my surgery.  I have been concerned about this since I heard abut clots.  Nothing more for now.


Another day closer

Sep 29, 2007

Well its Saturday of my long work week.  Almost done.  At midnight tonight it will be 15 days till my RNY.  
Was talking to my mother on the way to work tonight and she read me a speech that she prepared for a function that she was invited to.  She is a breast cancer survivor and is the guest speaker.  Incredible is the best way to describe what she wrote.  I am not one to get misty eyed but I was.  She will be coming up here to visit me when I am about a month post op.  I cant wait.  I am very proud to call her my mother.

OK so as of right now........exact time to surgery is..........
15 days 
13hrs
41mins
15sec

Or if you prefer
373 hrs
41min
15sec


Or even better
22421 minutes
15sec

Or last one
1,345,275 seconds.




Whoops

Sep 28, 2007

As of now  16 days left.

To be expected.

Sep 28, 2007

Well I got a case of the nerves today.  I cant stop thinking about this procedure and wish that it would be my time NOWWWW!!!  Still I get scared sometimes thinking about it and now looking at the memorial page.  I know that all the dates are from a long time ago, and some of those people were worse off than me, but the thought still enters my mind.  I am very confident in my Surgeons abilities and know that things will be fine.  

OK this guy is the best so far.  I like the dancing stick dude but this is nothing but pure humor.

Another day another message

Sep 27, 2007

I feel like I should put something in here today but am not sure what to write.  17 more days left. They are DRAGGING by.  I am about ready to grab a knife, some duct tape and this here swingline stapler thats on my desk and take care of business myself.  Im tired of the wait(and the weight). Ankle is just about 100% now. 

I like this little guy.  

Much Better

Sep 26, 2007

Not limping anymore.  Glad thats over.  Nothing new really to report.  Still playing the waiting game and wishing time would go faster.  18 days left till the big day.  Its kinda weird typing stuff here as I feel like I am talking to myself and thats strange.  
Ok Im done for now.
