Big Surgery Day Tomorrow
Keep a positive outlook - think "I CAN do this" instead of "Wow this is hard" or "I just CANNOT" do this.
My surgeon told me a lot of the reason why people "cannot" get the fluids in is psychological, not physiological... Keep that in mind. If you think I can and I am going to - odds are you will.
If you convince yourself that you are going to be nauseous, tired, sore... you sure as heck will be. Have regular pep talks with yourself about how GREAT you are doing and that will help the process be much more enjoyable for you.
Make sure you walk regularly (laps around the living room or dining room table to start out with) and that you do not spend your days napping as too much being sedentary will slow down your recovery.
Best of luck to you - I was so excited and full of anticipation the day before my surgery... You are going to do great!
See ya on the bench!
