Hi yall!!!

I got my keys today to my apartment. So I am at the library now. I got my curtains up, bathroom put together and most of my clothes moved. We will probally get a truck this weekend. I dread moving in the rain tho. DBF has been working all week so when he is off I am sure the rain will come. Had my pre-op yesterday and blood drawn today. Everything was fine until they choked me with the stupid spray they use to deaden my throat. Then I got a little anxious and my pressure jumped some. But I was awake and could watch my scope, at least part of it. I do have a hiatal hernia tho. I have not got my H-Pylori results back yet.They did have to put my I.V. in my foot tho. Our anesthisist is from Romania and he is super sweet. I also get Mike the day of surgery too so I was happy. The new guy explained all the precautions he will be doing for me since I have problems with some of the meds and gases. He did say I had to take my c-Pap with me because with my breathing problems he will probally put it on me right after surgery. So I felt relieved after talking with him. It is less than 12 days now!!! We have to be on liquids and high protein Slim Fast till surgery. I have yet to try the Slim Fast tho. I am just getting half-way used to the powdered protien I have. But I will try. My daughter and grandaughters and I had angel food cake and strawberries and ice cream over the weekend. That is what I usually have for my birthday and that is the one thing I requested to have early. It was so good!!! My daughter made the cake because we knew I wouldn't be able to have this in May. Thanks to Shawn for checking on me. I know Shawn, I have yet to try the protein you gave me cause after that yucky spay nothing taste right.But I am thankful to you for it. I need to go to pick up DBF from work. Take care all and I will be popping in again soon. Julia

Welcome back. I tried calling the number you called me from today but no answer. I was just going to ck in on you and make sure your doing ok. I am getting pretty use to the protein only diet but I am having problems getting all 5 in during the day. Good luck to you with it. Dont worry about not trying that protein I gave you, after all I wouldn't even try it cause it was grape. LOL I just hope you like it enough to make it worth the effort. Let us know if you need help moving. Shawn

Julia, Glad to see you made it thru pre-op. Sounds like you had a lot of fun! lol Mine is April 11th so I guess I know what to expect. But I really don't want an IV in my toe! I am glad we can do the slim fast, I happen to like it so I think that will be easier for me. Keep in touch Ginger
