cjonorcas and lovely_caprice
Aaaack! I have the second surgery so do not have to be there until 10:45. I am also an ERAS patient so I have all of these new rules... Drink apple juice before bed, five antiseptic showers, drink apple juice after parking the car at hospital, bring and drink water on the 2+ hour drive to the hospital. Interesting change from previous surgeries. My blod sugar cannot be too high or surgery will be delayed. Too low - delayed. But I have to drink a bottle of apple juice right before they check my sugar! So I am a bit stressed out. But... Onward! Will post as soon as I can type.
and good luck lovely caprice!!!
Wow.. I'm just the plain old nothing after midnight the night before. I don't have diabetes though and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be scheduled first. Usually scheduling goes insulin dependent diabetics, then non insulin dependent diabetics, then everyone else.
good luck tomorrow to both of you!

Interesting! I currently take a small dose of insulin, but am the second surgery. I have a long drive to the hospital through Seattle, so I am glad we will not be driving at 0 dark thirty at least.
