Topic: RE: Myspace
Okay... so I have to be at the hospital in just 12 hours. I am wondering if I'm going to chicken out. My kids and I (ages 6 and 3) are now at my folks' place. My mom, saint that she is, is going to care for us until I'm given the go-ahead to take on caring for my kids again. Hubby is at home and quite nervous for this all. He's so scared I'm going to die. He's convinced he is too "immature" to raise the kids on his own. I've tried to ensure him that I am NOT going to die! He won't get off that easily! lol :-0
In any case.. you're in my thoughts, prayers and stuff! We're gonna be great! See you on the other side!

Hi, Ya the day is coming up fast isn't it? I am eating whatever I want still, I don't have to do a pre-op diet. I guess I am one of the lucky ones as far as that goes. I did go out for the one last Friday night fish fry though! We hadn't done that in a very long time and there is a small restaurant in our town that has great fish fry. Last Friday was the last Friday I didn't work before surgery so we went out. I have tried two protein powders. One was from GNC, tasted good, but a bit pricey for my budget right now. The other one is from Wal-Mart, that was a lot cheaper and didn't taste bad at all. I also took my vitamin list from the surgeon's office and bought my vitamins so I have those lined up. How long a pre-op diet do you have to be on? How is that going for you?

Topic: I am home!! I did it
I had my surgery on Friday and came home Saturday evening. Everything went well and I had no complications. I was actually suprised that it was better than I thought. I of course am having pain and some rumbling on my stomach (is that gas) but other than that I am ok.
I almost chickened out in the pre op room but they gave me this AWESOME drug that relaxed me and I was laughing and everything. When i woke up in recovery I was all wide eyed and bushy tailed that the nurse said that she hardly see's that lol.
I was up walking about 3 hours after surgery and feel that I would of walked sooner if the nurses would of aloud me! My only complaint about my whole procedure is my care at the hospital. I mean I don't feel that they were checking on me enough and doing their job. I know that they have other patients but it was to the point where I pushed my button 3 times in a hour to get them in there. They brought me my tray and left, I may be wrong but I would assume that they wanted to make sure I was drinking enough and all that good stuff. My husband bascially had to take care of me the whole time. He was doing things they should of been doing. My doctor was GREAT though and was really sweet.
Well I just wanted to let everyone know that I am home. I am on my liquid diet and am trying to drink every hour but it's difficult because I have been sleeping alot. But I will step it up. Thank you all for your support.
