HAD MY LAST APPOINTMENT BEFORE SURGERY NEXT WEEK

J just got back from Moncton this afternoon, had the MRSA test (nothing to get excited about, over in minutes), one more week of shakes and then the big day is a week from tomorrow on the 18th (please God keep me healthy, no colds or flu)   But the big news is that in one week I LOST 10 POUNDS!!  That is truly a "HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER MOMENT".  Let the games begin!!!!!

Wow Ellie! Congrats! That's so exciting. My date is the 19th but I will be in Fredericton for mine. Good Luck! and Keep up the great work 

So happy for you....I go on March 13th.....How are you making out on the shakes?

If I am being honest, I am very tired of them and the fact that I am only taking in a sweet, sweet diet.  I am diabetic and have not had much for sweets in a very long time so I find them to be extremely sweet.  I asked Rhinette today if I could have fat/salt free broth and she said no, so I guess I just have to suck it up and finish off this phase.  How are you doing on them?  Are you being done in Moncton?

I guess i will see you there as my surgery is on the 18th in Moncton. I go up from Saint John tomorrow for the final appointment. I don't mind the shakes too much, just the bathroom part lol. I was this close to surgery in November, but my blood was low and had to have it postponed, so I'm not getting nervous yet.

Look for me when you are there if you like.  Being diabetic I will be in the ICU and discharged from there.  If you are in the neighborhood look me up if you feel up to it.  I am not very nervous yet about the surgery but I am sure that it will happen.

That is so awesome Ellie!  You are almost there and doing brilliantly!  Your journey is right around the bend....this is so exciting.....Kim

Keep up the good work, Ellie!  Less than a week to go now!  And hopefully the weather will co-operate for you!  It will go fast now!
