Less than 24hrs to go
In 20hrs I'll be on my way to the hospital. I'm all packed, just need to put my toothbrush in in the morning. Problems with my medication all resolved.
I'm surprisingly calm. I feel excited rather than anxious. Is there any last minute thingS I should be doing?
Can't wait to be on the losers bench.
See you on the other side!! xx
Good luck!
I can't speak as a vet, because I don't have my RNY until the 11th. However, as a nurse, I do recommend that you bring chap stick or other lip balm, leave all your jewelry at home (you can give it to a loved one at the hospital, but it's often less hassle to leave it at home), don't forget a charger if you're taking your phone, and take a ponytail holder if you have long hair. Then you can put it in a high ponytail to prevent snarling while you're in bed.
Also, be kind to your nurses and aides/care techs
You'll do great. Let us know when it's done.
