The Night Before Surgery

Dun-dun-dun.... It's finally here - the night before surgery. Not sure wether that sounds like something from a horror movie or one of those sappy movies where everyone gets a happy ending. I'm going with option number two. I have to wake up at 6 a.m. to take my pills with a small sip of water then we go to the hospital to check in at 8. Surgery is scheduled for 10 a.m. but hospital is almost worse then Granoff time and that's saying something. I have to stop eating an drinking at midnight though, hopefully I'll be asleep by then. Surgery should be about 2-3 hours depending on difficult I make it for them ;) Unfortunately I'll be in PICU for three nights! Not fun.... In PICU I can't receive flowers or plants of any kind. Some people have been asking what to send, or what kind of flowers I lik, so please do not send flowers or if you do wait until I'm out of PICU. I really don't want or need anything though.

I can't say I'm not scared for surgery, but at this point I'm so ready to get it over with that it's weighing out most of the anxiety. Everyone I've talked to have said the worst part of the whole thing is laying flat for 72 hours. Many people have asked how the heck I'm going to do that because I'm never still. All of you who asked that have a valid reason to be concerned. The last time I was still was......well, you get the picture. Like my friend said, the most she's seen me sit for was a half hour episode of Say Yes to the Dress. I would like to point out that I can sit through Dance Moms and all of The Real Housewives which are both hour long shows, thank you very much. Hopefully after the 72 hours are over I'll be up and walking! I'm confident in the team at VCU and know I'm in the best hands possible for this surgery. Thank you for all the positive thoughts and prayers, I appreciate them all.
My mom's blog is listed under my links page, she will most likely be the one blogging for the next few days seeing as I will be out of it. I've given her the password to my blog though so she may update on here too. I've also given her the password to my Facebook account - no guarentees that she'll remember it - so she'll post updates on my page too.
