only 3 more days

Only 3 more days for me!!!!!!



YEA

Yeah for you, wishing you good luck and good health!

Maria:

I know you're nervous about the Lovenox injections but, really, the anticipation is much worse than the actual event -- and I'm a real "needle-phobe."  For that reason, I'm not able to do the deed myself, so Cynthia gives me the shots.  The syringes come pre-filled and the needle part is just about 1/2 inch and as thin as a hair.  It really doesn't hurt at all.  Seriously.

The worst part for me was the gas which decided to stay put until the second day post-op.  I swear, I felt like a float from the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and was incredibly uncomfortable.  Once I was able to walk the floor, things got better and I had some relief.

You'll do fine -- I'm really excited for you!

 

 

Maria,

You will feel like a new woman!  Congrats!!  Keep us posted.

Good Luck! I had heperin shots instead of the Lovenox. They weren't as bad as I expected. Super thin needle.

Swinging chickens for ya. 

This is going to be the wildest ride you have ever been on but it is so fun!!!

Keep us posted!

You can do it! Final count down to your surgibirthday!

Thank all for the words of wisdom. I really do feel much better when I read everyone's posts. It makes me know that I will get through this just fine.

Joanne, thanks so much for the encouragment on the lovenox. I was told it didnt hurt but found that very hard to believe. Thanks for confirming that it is not so bad.

Think of me friday at 1:30pm. I will have my laptop at the hospital so as soon as I feel up to it, I will update on how I am doing.

Thanks

Maria
