Less than 12 hours away!

I'm so psyched!!  My surgery is tomorrow (7/17) at 11 a.m.!  Got my jammies and CPAP machine packed, and my tunes loaded and ready to go.  I figure if I'm too sleepy afterwards to read a book, I can always stick the headphones on and drown out the hospital noises.   I'm more excited than scared.  I feel like I'm in good hands with Dr. Schweitzer (thanks to the feedback from several of ya'll).  However, it does give one reason for pause when the hospital asks you (twice) if you want to make out a Living Will.  I did fill it out just to be safe, but I won't need to USE it...right???   Got my hubby to take my measurements tonight and he said, "Just think...tonight you're the heaviest that you'll ever be."  Wow...now that's HEAVY!!  ~Elaine   

Hey you will be in great hands with Dr. Schweitzer. Best wishes for an uncomplicated surgery followed by a quick and easy recovery. Hugs. Jo

I pray you slept well. I doubt you will get this message before leaving this morning. Good luck and welcome to the Losing Side!!!!
