Topic: RE: SHOUT if you're having surgery APRIL 10th!
I am doing well. I live 7/10th of a mile from the hospital. I could walk there in 15 minutes. The hospital is very nice. Kettering, Ohio is a pretty place.

I have to be at the hospital by six so I can get up at 5:15. I am been packing and unpacking for days. I have a book, 2 magazines, DVD's and my IPOD.

I bought some unisex hospital scrubs a couple of months ago size 2X. They weren't  too soft so I have been washing them with every load of laundry. I hemmed them with pink and white daisies and the other pair I embroidered a hem using my embroidery sewing machine. The scrubs do not have elastic but ties.

I am spoiling myself rotten.

Topic: RE: Hoping the next 21 days go by fast
When I'm stressed I CLEAN.  I've been reorganizing my closet, linen closets, rooms, kitchen, pantry.  I've been doing my spring cleaning also so I hope that it will keep me busy and before I know it the big day will be here. 

My mom wasn't on board with this surgery at first but I have given her the information needed and she's on board now which is great.  I'm very very close to my mom and having her support means the world to me.   I'm trying to talk people out of coming the morning of surgery....I know my husband and my parents will be there.  But I just found out my older brother will be on his way from a business trip and stopping off for my surgery and then going home afterwards.  And one of my very best friends.  I love them all and love that they want to be there.  Guess I'll need a separate waiting room just for my visitors :)  I'm really glad that the hospital I'll be at has private rooms.

Thanks for the encouragement.  Postponed for sure.

More blood work and more clearances.  Here we go again.

I have high potassium, which is causing my kidney functions test to double.  Well, duh, I take a potassium medication.  You would have thought out of the three doctors is saw during the past few weeks someone would have said to stop taking it.

Disappointed but not discouraged.

 I'm leaving NY at 6am Friday morning in order to get to the west coast by 10:47, with the time difference and all, of course.  I have to leave for the airport about 3am, so have to be ready Thursday night.  When i think it's nearly Tuesday night and I need to be ready Thursday night, I realize how soon it is.
I'm nervous, not really excited, just want to get through this and on the other side of it when I feel better.
How are you doing?

I hope so.  I am so ready for this surgery.  I can't begin to explain.

My coordinator suggested I take something, so I took an ambien. I couldn't believe how well I slept.
