Tomorrow is bowel prep.. and strange dreams....
Fun fun fun! I had a dream lastnight about going into surgery. It started out fine and they put in the IV. But when they were going to put in the catheter they put a cloth with ether on it over my nose and made me sleep. Then they forgot to give me the rest of the stuff in the IV to put me out so I woke up when they were making the first incision but I couldn't move or talk because of the ether. That's when I woke up. I guess I am a little more nervous on the inside then I am showing on the outside.
I am packing and making a phone list tonight of people my darling husband needs to call to let them know I am doing okay. I can't believe the day is so near... I am both excited and afraid all at the same time. I wish I could sleep better... I am sure I will need it for recovery (not that I think the morphine will give me much choice).
Thanks for listening guys! Surgery is Friday morning.
Monica try not to get yourself too worked up. It will be here and over before you know it. You'll be thinking on Saturday, "why did I get myself so worked up?"

I'm so happy for you, I see the surgeon for the first time on Monday and I'm nervous about that, I really feel for you. The dreams are a way for you to get rid of some fear but mean nothing. I think I've slept 2 nights since I made the phone call, spend all my time on line or working on papers to take on my first visit. By the way wat is the bowel prep? Think I have an idea but not sure. It sounds like you have every thing under control and organized. I wish you the best and I'll keep you in my prayers. Good Luck Doris
Tomorrow is bowel prep for me too. I have been having dreams that I am in the hospital getting ready for surgery and I forgot all about taking the laxative. I try to tell the hostipal staff but they just put me to sleep.
Just wanted you to know that you are not the only one having crazy dreams.

Aren't dreams the funniest thing? And yet here I sit at 3:30 in the morning trying to convince myself that I can do more than just stare at the ceiling if I go to bed. I guess it all snuck up at me at once!
I am still, even with the dreams and anxiety, SO excited to be starting ym new lease on life. You'd think I'd walk out of the operating room at 120lbs the way I have been acting, LOL. I wonder if there is some letdown in the beginning because you spend so much time just wanting to get TO the surgery and it is really just the door you have to go through to even have the possibility of making it to healthy.
