This is the week!

So it's Veronica's and my turn for surgery this week.

I think I am as prepared as I can be. Not sure how the home life will be once I get out of hospital. I know my ex won't be supportive or helpful so I'm going to have to try and be as self-sufficient as possible.

I will stay the first night or two out of hospital at my 'Aunts' house. She's not really my Aunt, but she treats me like I'm family, and she said I can rest up in her guest quarters so I don't have to deal with the ex or with my dog straight away. One of my biggest concerns was having my 90lbs dog get excited when I come home and jump all over me, so hopefully with taking a few extra days to recover with minimal outside stresses, will help.


Two more days of work, then pre-op on Wednesday and under the knife Thursday! YAY!!

Dam! I am so excited for you. I know you will do well.

The only words of advice I have is, treat your hospital stay like a vacation. Make sure you do what you want...not always what the nurses tell you. Get as much sleep as possible and enjoy the ride.

Is someone going to post your room number, or can we text you in the hospital? was gonna try and come by and say "HI" during your stay.

Have I mentioned...I'm so excited for you!!!!!

I don't really have anyone who will be able to email or post how I'm doing or what room I'm in. But I will have my netbook and phone with me so I can probably let you guys know myself once i'm functional.

In the past I've just gone to level 5 and asked at the nurses station what room people were in. So if any of you find out before I do, you're welcome to post it.

I'm super excited, and a little anxious.

hi Sian....wow, I have been watching the calendar for you, too. I'm glad that you are going to your Aunt's house....good idea. What day is Veronica's surgery????I'll be up to see both of you...sending hugz and luff:)D

Veronica will be going in for surgery on the 24th. So she'll already be a pro by the time I go in on the 25th.
