Good luck!  Let us know how everything goes!
Thank you to your DH for protecting our country and allowing us to have our freedom. 

Yes, I'm sure we'll see each other while we are there. I'm the fat red head. :P Good luck on your surgery!

How is everyone feeling about our date being a week away?

I'm excited! :)

I had considered pushing it off a little while.  Dh just got home from Iraq (his 5th tour) and then 2 days later we  had the shootings here (we're at Fort Hood), so things have been tense to say the least.  But my dr. explained if I did pu**** back we may fall outside the window Tricare (the military insurance) allows and there is a good chance we'd have to start the process all over, which would only add to my stress level.  So I go in tomorrow.

My report time is 0630, so at least it's early.  I'm nervous about the pain.  And the anathesia.  I had heart surgery when I was 22 and they didn't give me enough anathesia and I woke up during the procedure.  Not an experience I'd like to relive.

I'm headed out in a few minutes to get my clear protein drinks and lots of sugar free popsicles.  I had broth earlier this week that must have gone bad and made me violently ill, so now I can't handle the smell of broth, so I gotta find alternatives.

Okay, enough complaining, venting, whatever.  Just wish me luck.

I'm scheduled for Monday, Nov 16.  Been on the liquid diet for 10 days now.  It's going ok - i've only dropped 4 pounds ... I was thinking I'd drop a little more. 

I've also picked up the post-op supplies, the vitamins, colace, more protein shakes, etc. 

I've only told a handful of peope what I'm about to do ... just not comfortable with many people knowing and judging.  Am I crazy?

Good luck next week!
