My surgery is cleared for take off on Monday.  Anyone out there that would like to be phone buddies having surgery the same day I am game...It is always nice to have someone to talk to that is going through the same thing you are.   It might be interesting to talk to eachother on drugs!!! LOL.  At any rate Good Luck to you!

 I'm also  having surgery on the 8th.  Tomorrow is my last day on solid food - liquids (and pudding/jello) Friday and Saturday, then clear liquids and poop-juice for Sunday.   Yeah, I like my Dr. not requiring me to do the diet longer before surgery... I'm enjoying Dunkin' Donuts today and tomorrow :)  
I wouldn't mind a phone buddy, but since we are anticipating breathing/throat problems following surgery, I likely won't be able to talk.  Add in the anti-coagulant shots I will have to do after surgery, and I will be tired as all hell, too.  Last few surgeries I had my asthma was horrible and/or my throat was irritated (from the tubing).  Hence me bringing my iPod Touch with me and using it + the free Wi-Fi in the hospital.  I can get emails/chats/txts while I'm in there if you're able to :)

I'm just irked I won't know what time my surgery is set for until Sunday.  They could ask me to come in at 4am... and I would like to know sooner than later how early I need to be up, ya know?  

Hi.  I won't know the time of my surgery until the day before as well.  Good luck to both of you.  You will both be in my thoughts and prayers.
