Surgery in under a week--and I'm feelin' it
Surgery is under a week, and I'm having all the emotional ups and downs. I am exhausted already; 'course some of that is due to Aunt Flo's visit.
This is a rough one this time. I have cramps all around the body; a migrane; and can't take anything for it. grrrrrrrrrr
My hubby is out of town starting today; to return Thurs evening late. My sister is having her baby this week. They are going to induce on I'm Thursday; so I will have my 3 year old niece spend the night on Wednesday. This is in addition to me trying to get home in order for my surgery. Thank goodness for my church sisters. They are going to come while I'm in the hospital to do the deep cleaning and fall cleaning--the things that will be hard to do with the weight restrictions. I would be lost with out them!
I'm going to get the meds filled today; cooking several freezable meals, etc. Doing what I can to keep my mind off it. I'm excited, and scared, and hopeful and aprehensive all in one tightly rolled bundle.

You'll do great Rhonda!! First few days for me were like a honeymoon and then I have 3-4 days of "why did I do this to myself?" pity party (AF showed up day 8 post-op so no wonder I was an emotional wreck!).
2 weeks out and I'm ready for the healing to be done. I'm just starting to drive a little bit (short trips in the neighbourhood only so far) and otherwise, doing ok. I work from home and have been working for a week already just in shorter stints.
Take it easy and trust me... the results are worth it. I don't miss the panni AT ALL.
