Sheri,
I am there with you.  I haven't looked at it either.  My surgery is on Thursday (11/6) and like you I may look at it when I am done, but maybe not. On a similar note my passion is scuba diving and I refuse to watch the movie of the two that don't survive out at sea.  I would hate to lose my passion and I would hate to have those thoughts in my head when i am out diving. I may be an Ostrich with my head in the sand, but sometimes its nice to be an Ostrich I guess. I am calm about my surgery and I plan to stay that way.

To all of you out there having the pre surgery jitters.  I had them big time.  I didn't even have anyone to discuss it with except the wonderful people here on OH.  I was so nervous and not sure I was doing the right thing.

My surgery was on Friday, October 31.  I came home today and am feeling pretty good.  I did have to take some pain meds this evening, but had not taken any for 12 hours (since I got up at 6 am in the hospital this am).  While I was there, I walked, I sipped.  Today, I got to start shakes at home and I am sipping water.  I unpacked and took a nap for an hour.  I feel pretty good.  (I gained 1.5 # in the hospital, but I know it is only from fluids - couldn't be anything else.)

Just walk and sip water.  Do what they tell you and if you have gas pains, walk and walk some more.

I have had diarrhea since just before I left the hospital this morning, other that that I am doing much better than I expected.

Try to keep busy.  Get things done that you want to have done when you get home.  (I am so glad I got a lot done, wi**** had been more.)  Just trust God and I will be praying for all of you.

God Bless,

Thanks, Stacey, for the support. How do you feel after your surgery? I'm going to really try to get to the support group this Thursday. Will you be there? I'm glad to hear you really liked Dr. Blaney. That makes me feel alot better and more confident. I'm really looking forward to this now.
Hope to meet you soon and that you bounce right back from the surgery.  Muffy
