Topic: Preparing for November surgery - Thursday
Very tired today.
Work: Finished November's schedule. Realized for the first time how many hours/how much money I'll not be making next month. Know it's for the best and have a savings, but man, that put everything into reality.
House: stayed on top of dishes and laundry; worked on master bedroom. It's really coming together nice. I think I'll enjoy my recovery oasis :) Hoping to have time to paint living room before surgery, but will see.
Family: took youngest and niece to see Wiggles. We loved it. I fantasized about the day where I'd actually fit into the seat :)
Eating: a ton of protein, but still having trouble with portion control - I swear I act like every meal is my last! Doing well on cutting back caffein and chewing everything 20 bites
Emotionally: arranged for when my supportive family will be visiting and taking time to stay at the hospital with me. Surgery is three hours away and they've been amazing offering to drive up to sit with me, giving DH a break, as well as taking care of our kids while I'm out of commission.
I'm starting to get a little anxious, but assuming this is normal! How about you guys, anyone else getting nervous?

I'm so excited for you! My PATs are on the 4th, and I'll be 13 days behind you on the DS loser's bench.
Topic: RE: Anybody have to go on a liquid diet before surgery?
LOL... Thanks Darlene. I'm sure we will have alot of those moments. Kind of like labor. Everyone lets Breathe.... We need to add a Lamaze section. HEHEHE!
Good idea though I am going to try some new stuff and try to like it.

Topic: RE: PATs yesterday...
Thanks for the congrats gals! I keep reading my diet info again and again so that it will all soak in. I honestly feel like I can't wait anymore!
Kelly are you going to have someone spend the night with you after surgery or is it still a close enough driving distance to go back and forth.

Topic: I'm having a DS on November 4! Vote ME for president!
I keep telling everyone that I'm going to wake up from anesthesia and say, "WHO WON?!?!?!?" I voted early today because I'm traveling for my DS and it was too late to get an absentee ballot. I've already met 2 people who will be having surgery the same week as me, with the same surgeon. Anyone else?

Topic: RE: Tell me it is not just me...
I with the rest of you, I am sure my friends and family are all so tired of hearing about this. Yes I am obsessing. Before we know it Christmas will be here and we will all be post op! Now time hurry the up already!!

Hello Everyone!
I have been soooooooooooooooooooo excited! My sister-in-law asked me if I was having 2nd thoughts. No Way! I have waited too long to start living and I can't wait. Less than 2 weeks to go and I had a scare today. My DH got strep on Tuesday and guess who has it today?? ME and my little girl. We were freaking out that I wouldn't be able to have my surgery on the 5th. But everything should be fine the doctor's say. I just hope my boys don't get it but everyone always drinks out of everyone's cup over here! Drives me crazy but they don't care.
We should have a count down post so we can all get it out of our system.
Take care and keep counting--13 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's all hang in there together!
