Its Getting Weird...

Another day and another pound down. Woot! Woot!



Saturday. Sunday. Monday. WOW. Oh my goodness. Surgery day is almost here! Woot! I know its a little weird to be excited about surgery but this has been a long time coming. Once I make a decision about something, I like for it to happen NOW. Going through this process has definitely been a lesson in patience. :-)

I just finished my third shake of the day which means I have one more to go. Add that to the four I have to drink tomorrow and it puts me just 5 protein shakes away from surgery. Sunday should be quite a challenge. Clear liquids only. No protein shakes. I am just happy that its only one day.

They called today to let me know I need to be at the hospital at 9am. Very happy its not 6am because I am not a morning person and VERY VERY happy its not in the afternoon cause I can't have anything to drink after midnight on Sunday. I am not sure how long I will have to wait for the surgery to start after arriving at the hospital but it will give me more time to practice my patience.

I packed my bag for the hospital already. I can't really have anything with me that day but I know I will want to have a hair brush, tooth brush, etc on Tuesday and Wednesday. I also packed a book and am trying to think of a few other things to keep me busy on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Walter is taking a half days all week so he can be with me as much as possible. He has Monday off already so he'll be there for that. I have to remind him to pick out a good book for his Ipod so he has something to listen to while he waits and while he is driving back and forth. I keep trying to get him to go do some shopping while I am in surgery because we need a few things but he doesn't want to leave the hospital. That is so sweet but I feel bad that he has to just sit around and wait. I guess that it is good that he has more patience than I do.

My niece says she is coming to visit when I come home from surgery. She wants to take care of me. That is so sweet. It will be nice to have someone around while Walter is at work in the mornings. Although, I might just spend most of the morning sleep if I can. I have been working so much I feel like I barely sleep anymore.

I guess I better get back to work. I am almost done for the week so I am hoping I can spend some time with my loving husband tonight when he gets home from work.
