Surgery Tomorrow!
Hello Everyone!
It's finally here! I haven't slept in weeks, maybe it's because I've been thinking about it so much. I'm a litter nervous, I've had sugeries before, but nothing like this! I spent all day yesturday cleaning the house, helping my parents cook food for the next week since they will be traveling into NYC to see me everyday, its just easier to heat up food when they get home. And washing all my clothes in hypoallergenic detergent since I'm all of a sudden allergic to our detergent. Maybe I am or maybe some of the hives I've broken out in are just nerves, but now isn't the time to experiment so I did everything so when I get home it's already done.
I left packing my bag for today, any suggestions of what I should bring since some of you have already had this surgery.
I'm a little tired right now but I won't let myself take a nap because I know I'll be so anxious later that I probably won't get any sleep anyway, but I still have to try to get some. As soon as I can I'll update everyone on how I am doing. I'll have my laptop with me, it all depends on how I'm feeling.
Talk to you all soon!!!

Good luck!!! I am SO excited for you! This is a big step and the next few months are going to be an adjustment. But just remember that it will be worth it. I was the same way - so nervous leading up to surgery. But I knew I\'d be sleeping/resting/knocked out a lot after so I didn\'t mind.
I am sort of a What to bring during your hospital stay pro since I\'ve been hospitalized 6 times in the last 9 months! I always bring my own pillow, blanket, toiletries, a few towels (the hospital I stayed at had crappy ones), computer, book, wordsearches/crossword/sudoku, DVDs, my own comfy clothes to wear, blowdryer .,,,That\'s pretty much it.
I am so so excited for you girl!! I\'ll be thinking about you! Can\'t wait to hear how it goes!!!! Praying for a succesful surgery and recovery :)
We all hope and pray your recover quickly and that it is a perfect success. You will enjoy feeling healthy again!
Bring a robe to wear while you walk the halls pushing your IV pump throughout the hospital.
