Monday is the BIG day!
The OR Nurse called me today and told me that i need to arrive at the hospital at 6am. My surgery is at 7:30am. WOW. I am kind of in shock. i don't know how to feel. I am just numb. I am not upset or nervous. Its like its happening to someone else. I am worried about having to stay in the hospital more then i am about the surgery. I don't like sleeping away from home. Plus I have Dogs that don't like being away from me. So, I hope its not too stressful for them. But it will be worth it when i can go outside in the yard and play with them and take them for walks.
Andre,
I am 6 days post-op. I also had no emotion going into the surgery. Even the nurse said my pulse and blood pressure were very calm for what I was about to do.
I was in the hospital 3 days and it was so good to get home. The beds at the hospital are awful and being woken up every 2 to 3 hours you get no rest at all.
I have cats and you would of thought I was gone for months. They followed my around like a herd of sheep for days after I got home.
Even now I can't believe I did it. I went thru everything and I still feel like it happened to someone else. I have lost 13 lbs since Monday.
And the early in the morning the better. I was at the hospital at 5:30 for a 7:30 surgery. I was in my room at 10:30. And sitting in a chair at 4:00.
I see you are in Baltimore as I am. Keep in touch if you like. Take care.
