Leaving for Surgery Tomorrow.....

Hi Everyone,

How do you register for a surgery date on OH?

I opened my profile so everyone could see my photos.  I actually have one of my FACE. Gasp!
Take a lookee and see our furbabies, our living room set up for my post-op recovery (I get control of the REMOTE!!), my kitchen counter with supplies, and pantry with foods.  I also have a virtual model of myself at my highest weight. Don't know if you guys know about that website or not...

Thank you all for your kindness. You are all so special, and you mean much to me.

Even though my surgery isn't til Tuesday, I'm leaving in the morning for DC. The hospital wants to cross type my blood to ensure no funky antibodies show up (I already have a rare blood type).  As long as blood is good, DH and a friend are meeting me in DC to spend the night in a hotel a couple miles from the hospital, as we need to be there at 5:30 am Tuesday, and we live 2 hours away. 

I'm gunna try to bring my laptop with me , but DH is pointing out that he will have to guard it when I'm in surgery, and he's not too keen on that. 

One thing I'm not leaving behind is my Ruthie Attitude.  I'm visualizing a successful and uneventful surgery, with lots of laughter, and an easy recovery.  Dunstan Turlach the tumor and I are getting a divorce on Tuesday and I plan to CELEBRATE....with a protein drink in a sippy cup. (wink)

I hope all the pre-op stuff goes off without a hitch tomorrow. Call me tomorrow afternoon if you get time.  Swinging lizards for you, babeeee!

Wow it's closing in now!  I know everything is going to be alright!  Make sure DH knows to keep me posted on your progress...don't forget your timer....and yes don't forget your Ruthie attitude!  We'll do the worrying for you so you don't have to!  Call or text me so I can keep everyone updated for you!

 Good luck to you!  I can't wait to read all about it afterwards!  God bless, Catherine

Good luck with everything, I hope all the bloodwork is good.  It looks like you are well prepared.  Everything looks so nice and I love your furbabies, they are beautiful!  It will be nice to recoup at home, I had to recoup in a hotel room because I lived too far away to go home right after my surgery.  The Dr. wanted me to stay close for 2 weeks. 

Hey, best wishes for a an uneventful surgery and a smooth and painless recovery! Can't wait to hear from you when you're on the other side! :)

I am so excited for you. You will do great with that Ruthie attitude. Making room for you on the loser's bench!

Best of luck to you! Will be swinging lizards your way! Sherry

Tracy, good luck, and if you are taking your car, leave your laptop in the trun****il afterwards. That way your dh won't have to guard it. And to be honest it will be much afterwards before you feel up to pulling it out and using it.

Good luck and swinging cats. Liz

Looked at your pix. Love the furbabies and the spinning wheel. I'm a spinner also.



Woo Hoo go baby, go.

Keep us in touch and we are here swinging for you.
