Just got off the phone with one of the nurses doing my pre-op interview.  I can have carnation instant breakfast shakes until midnight, then clear liquids until 7:30am.  No bowel prep, the instant breakfast takes care of that.  I need to be at St. Mary's by 0930 for surgery at 1240pm. 

I am ready, brushed the dogs, last load of laundry is in the washer.  Plan to pack my few things this evening.  My dad is coming later today so he can be there for surgery.

Loser's bench, slide everyone over a little to make room for this loser.

      I am excited.  Look out treadmill, here I come, gotta burn off some of this energy.

Hugs, Kathy

hehehe... Love your excitement! Ohhhh how I remember this day when it was me! I didn't sleep a wink all night, even tho I was tired. I was just soooo excited I could hardly stand it.

Always remember how you feel RIGHT NOW...there will be times later that you may need to remember it to give you some encouragement and a boost.

I am so happy for you! You are gonna do great! I have a nice warm spot for ya right next to me here on the bench!
