Surgery tomorrow morning!

Okay for everyone who hasn't done it yet, just let me tell ya that bowel prep is the absolute pits. I have been on my toilet from 5pm to now (almost 11pm) and I hate to be graphic here but my butt is SO sore that I feel like I should call the police! LOL The phospho soda not only gave me the runs but also made me feel like I wanted to throw up! Not a nice combination. I really didn't eat anything all day, even though I was allowed liquids. I finally felt well enough to get down some broth a few minutes ago and while I feel a bit better I think it might have put more liquid into my intestines that is just RARING to come out. I have to wake up at 4am. The surgeon's office told me to be there at 6am, but they always tell you one thing and when you arrive the hospital says you're late so I am going to go in at 5-5:30am. Surgery starts at 7:30. I had a moment of doubt today.... lasted about an hour. My husband reassured me and so did playing with my girls. I am doing this to add years to my life... years that I can spend with them. I am confident in my surgeon and his abilities. The hospital does a lot of these procedures and I have read some very realistic things about their staff that don't bother me that much. Now I will try to lay down and get some rest. Thank you all for your support and your kindness.... you have truly become like family to me and I know that this journey would have been so much more difficult without you. Good luck, god speed... ...and I WILL be talking to you later!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!! yOU will be fabulous!!!!!! It all gets better from here, and you are making the right choice!!!!!

Good luck on your surgery. Yes it seems the day before is the worse !. I will be praying for you, for a speedy recovery. Remember you are doing the right thing. God Bless Sheri Persons
