WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Your surgery is the day before my birthday. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy and uneventful surgery and recovery!
Definately do keep pictures taken as you progress through this journey.. it is incredible to look back on.
Take slip on slippers, chap stick and a robe. At the first hint of nausea post-op ask immediately for anti-nausea meds, as vomitting is the total pits after surgery. Take tiny sips not big drinks, and walk several times a day for short distances to help move out the air and keep those blood clots from forming!
Listen to your bady when it says it is time to rest!

HAHA, cool, my moms is this sat the 23rd.. .. I will have to send birthday wishes early
I hope my husband dont get annoyed with taking the pics.. I will be like.. " hey get this angle babe" or " just a few more, the light wasnt right" LMAO
Slippers CHECK
chapstick CHECK
robe CHECK
Do I have to wear underwear? was thinking of just sitting on a bed pad..HAHA any accidents just toss away and whola! no annoying band around waist- I tend to leak when caughing or sneezing.. Hey.. I know ppl who done it with other surgeries.. its pretty handy.. hospitals are quipped.. LOL
I definitly will be making note to ask for anti nausea meds if needed.. no hesitating for me. I wish I could take home those legg massagers they use in hospitals.. I love those things! I already gave my husband heads up on helping me walk as often as I can.. and he is alerted to the problems from gas from surgery.. I had horrible pains from the gas when I had gall bladder removal.. I dont look forward to that again and no pain med helped..
6 days to surgery YAY!! ..
