The night before
Well, its almost here.
I should have posted last week about my pre-op, but i got a little distracted by everything. (I'll go back later and describe)
But as for today, i have been on a clear liquid diet (luckily Jell-O counts as liquid). I had my last hurrahs as far as food went yesterday. Nothing major, just a few things I know I won't be able to eat after surgery - corn on the cob, chocolate ice cream (the real stuff), biscuits & gravy.
Today I also have the joy of cleaning out my system, which is why the clear liquid diet. I do nothing but clear liquids all day, then starting at five I had to start drinking this nasty stuff called phosphosoda which is a saline laxative which works very, very well. Since they will be operating on not only my stomach but my intestines as well, it is very important to be as clean as possible. Need I say more?
Anyway, I'm tired, my head hurts, I'm nervous, and I'm stressed. So I'm not going to post anymore tonight.
Hopefully David will be able to post tomorrow to let everyone know how the operation goes.
