Counting The Hours and I am....

I am having surgery in 26 hours and I am emotional as all heck right now.. I have several things to do, (pack, finish writing things down for family, shave my legs even!! ) and I can't seem to move away from this screen. I feel like I am waiting for someone to notice me.. Yes thats right just jump put 0ff the screen and see me sitting here in tears.. Just kidding --- sorta -- I have been reading this board since Last August, that was when I stated my journey.. I have learned a lot from you all and for that i want to thank me, when I first started this all I was so confused on what the different procedures were and felt soo lost but lots of late nights were spend here just reading and learning and Many Tears for joy of sadness of worry have gone thru me.. Thank you all for being here, this I PRAY is the beginning of a new journey for me I Just started writing a journal of all my appts and what all happened this last week, not i need to get them all on my profile ...

Hi Donna, I'm also very nervous...I went today for pre-op and Friday AM is the date. I have so many emotions going on...and so much to do..yet just like you I seem to be sitting here reading about everyone successes and can't wait to be there!! Best of luck to you!! Suzanne

I'm counting the hours too (Friday, June 3rd surgery at the University of Pennsylvania). I'll be leaving work in a few minutes to start cleaning out my system in preparation for Friday. I'm anxious too but mostly focused on worrying about my daughter, my dog, my house, yada yada yada. So folks, what are you packing. I'll be in the hospital until Tuesday at which point friends will take me to their house in Pennsylvania for rest and recuperation. I'm packing protein powder, they're buying protein drinks, water, etc. So... Other than what I wear in and some extra undies, toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, shampoo, and an extra outfit or two, a few books, my vitamins, my booklets, oh and my cpap which I have to pick up tomorrow, what else do I need? Looking forward to next week. Linda
