7 days to go!

Well, Next Monday is my day! YAY..finally here!! I have many mixed emotions...."fear, excitement, anxiety, concern, eagarness, anxiousness" ALL OF THE ABOVE! I had to run out and get my chewable vitamins this weekend. Now, I am all set! I founf chewable Centrum (orange flavored), so I bought them instead of Flintstones chewable. (Just to not waste afterwards and not using them). My mother-in-law is flying in on Friday to help me afterwards (mostly to make sure her son is fed well since I can't eat...hahaha). Seems my family is getting really scared. My son will not even talk about it. He changes the subject everytime anything is mentioned. He did not take off work because he said he was not going to sit and wait for something to happen. He will go by after work to visit with me, not pace floors in worry. He and I are very very close and he is really scared for me. My sister is driving up the night before to be there with me, my mom, my mother-in-law, my husband and my daughter will all be there. Makes me scared just thinking about them all being that concerned. But, I am doing it! I hope this heartburn goes away soon! I don't know if it is nerves or what..but last few days I have had heartburn. I already made my husband aware that all this week, I am cooking everything I LIKE! And he is taking me out to eat on Friday night for the "Last supper". (And I will order dessert too since I never do). Then Saturday starts the liquid diet for 2 days prior to surgery.... Wish me luck!!!! Vanessa

Wow, Vanessa, It sounds like you have a great support line, and yes I wish you all the best on this exciting but scary journey you will be taking. You will be in my thoughts and prayers on your special day. Take care Dana

I agree.. what a great support system! All I had was hubby and my fantastic roomie! You will do great, put your trust in the doctors and God. Best of luck. T
