Leaving in the morning

Well, I am leaving in the morning.  Surgery is on Monday.  I am so excited but I am kind of freaking out.  I am hoping that the pain afterwords will not be as bad as I am thinking it will be.  Thank goodsness that I will be traveling with a fellow Winnpeger!

I will try to update you all during the week!

 good luck tomorrow, hope you have nice speedy recovery. i am sure you will be back home in no time. looking forward to hearing from you post op.

Good luck!

Have a safe trip! Good luck on Monday! Everything will go great, these Dr.s really know what their doing. How long are you going to stay in Medicine Hat before returning home? I had only a 2 hour trip from Wpg to home and that was enough for me. So some advice, make sure you have your protein shake, water, and some T3's crushed. Also, have a spit cup or something just in case you have bile and crap coming up. Take rest stops to walk and stretch out a bit. I had to stop in Portage coming home just from the nausea. But I was also traveling 2 days after surgery. I hope your staying longer and this won't be a problem. Anyway you take great care and god bless! ~Cheryl

Best of luck, safe travels and speedy recovery....

Have a safe trip! As soon as you express any discomfort those nurses will be all over it. Trust me! The staff at Victoria hospital were top notch. I trust they will be the same in MH. They will hook you up to some pretty good med's, so when you feel pain you just push a button. Do you know when your traveling back? Some advice for your trip home. I only had to come 2 hrs and that was far enough for me. I hope they keep you there for at least a few mare days. Anyway.....Be sure to have your protein shake, plenty of water, and T3's crushed. Also a spit cup for bile if you have problems that way. Take breaks to walk and stretch your legs. I had to get out for 30 Min's in Portage just from the nausea. I'm not trying to scare you.... This may not happen to you. I only want to prepare you in case anything should arise. Good luck and God Bless! ~Cheryl

Thanks so much.  Vicki and I have arrived (newme210) I think is her board name.  She is having her surgery as we speak.  I will be heading down in about an hour.  I am getting pretty excited and still nervous.  I woke up several times in the night so I am really tired, that helps with the nerves a bit.  I am to tired to over stress.  I have my laptop with me so I will keep you all posted.  It is just so cool that Vicki and I were booked for the same day!  She has been a great addition to the trip. 

I hope everything goes well for both of you!
I am so happy that you are able to support each other.
Have a safe drive back home!
