I'm ready!
Well, I finished up all of my pre-op stuff today. I got my last minute instructions and I'M READY TO GO! All I have to do now is pack my small bag, grab my pillow, and be there at 5:30 next Thursday morning! I'm getting very excited about everything now. It's really, really going to happen. I guess I've kind of been in denial about it. I've been thinking that there's going to be something that will stop me from having it. Well, no more! Only positive thoughts are coming from me from now on!
I did find out though, that I'll be in the hospital for a few days longer than normal. I'm on Coumadin (a blood thinner) and he's going to make sure I'm therapeutic before I even leave the hospital. I've gotten blood clots even on the coumadin before, so he wants to just keep an eye on it. That's ok. I'm going to think of it as a mini-vacation. Silly, huh?
Well, I just thought I'd throw out an update on what's going on with me. Hope everyone else is doing ok as well!

PS: I don't think I will EVER have to think up the 5 questions for the day. I don't get up early enough to be the first one. Guess I get out of that one, huh?
Naomi,
I went yesterday for a few tests (the blood work and EKG and chest Xray) and I had worked myself into a panic that something would stop my surgery, so I know EXACTLY what you mean about negative thoughts, but I survived yesterday and I am looking forward to March 22nd.
AND .. you could ALWAYS ask 5 questions anyway
Hugs,
Mo
