Surgery Date 9-19-05

Any words of wisdom to get me through this?

How about OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL I am with you on the 19th Gail...the chattering teeth are appropriate!! I am making lists like I have never made lists before...driving everyone nuts with my post-its all over the place!!! LOL I'll be watching your thread for those words of wisdom from the ones on the losing side!! Good luck to us both Gail!! Smile, Donna

I'm on the 19th too. My husband says that he can tell I am going to drive him crazy. Of course, If my house continues to fall apart, I might not make it to the 19th. It is one of those "when it rains, it pours" Electricity, ho****er heater, potty ( luckily we have two) but it might ruin my carpet. It has been a stressful weekend.. And I thought the weekend before surgery was going to be stressful. I could probably use some of your post-its. I can't seem to get anything done that I need to. I feel like I am way behind. It just seems like yesterday I was telling everyone it was a month away. Now it is a week away.. OMG!!! What other things are you guys doing to prepare?? I have some liquids, and a little bit of protein drinks. I have some of the ispure ready to drink ones. I have been trying to get used to the taste, so I have been drinking some of them. I will definitely need to get some more. But I do remember when my dr had the seminar, he didn't think we needed the protein drinks. I think that I will because I can not stand fish of any kind. And that is one of the proteins that many are eating. I thought about writing letters to my family, but I just can't seem to bring myself to do it. I am going in with the attitude that everything will be just fine. Of course, I will tell everyone I love them etc. but I dont think that I am going to write letters. Anything else that you guys can think of?? I have my lesson plans and everything set for me to be out. So that is good. I even had a parent come and make all my copies for the next 4 weeks.( this week included to help me). I think I am good to go in that department. Any advice would be great. Thanks, Jill
