Got the official surgery time call this morning. They are expecting me for "check in" at 8:15. They made it sound like I was checking into a hotel. What do you think the chances are they will give me one of those warm soft chocolate cookies at check-in tomorrow?! LOL!
Tonight's the night that I need to think of all those last minute things and get them done.
After I made my last dinner (check), and took my dog for her last walk to the park (check), my husband and I ran to the mall to get a present for a wedding our 13 year old son is attending this weekend (check), then I finished the last load of laundry (check), made my temporary bed on the couch (check), got my clothes ready for tomorrow, took off all my jewelry and filled a laundry basket with my favorite comfy clothes so that they will be easy for me to tell someone what to bring me(check and double check)!
I am officially out of things to do. I debated about having my "last" glass of wine, then decided since we didn't already have a bottle open I'd treat myself to a small bowl of ice cream instead. Probably better for my hydration anyway! I'm actually going to set my alarm for 11:45 PM and get up to have as much water as I can possibly drink before going back to bed. I have small vein issues, so the more hydrated I am when they hook me up tomorrow, the better!
Not sure there is anything else to do but to get a good night's sleep. Hoping I feel good enough to blog about it all tomorrow!
Hope all goes well for you today. Take it one day at a time.
