Twas the night before...

Twas the night before surgery and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even my spouse...

Alright so it's the night before the surgery and I am NERVOUS!!!!  Don't get me wrong, I asked for the surgery and I want it, just very nervous because tomorrow for 4 - 6 hours I will not be in control of my body.  For anyone that knows me I am a CONTROL FREAK!!!  So handing over control to someone else is concerning for me.

So an update on where we are at, I've been taking Iron pills (hate them) because my doctor says it will help in the healing process, however they constipate you and make you sick to your stomach.  YUCK!  So I have to take them with food, which just constipates you more and makes you miserable...  I will be super happy after the surgery is over and I can stop taking them.  Also I've been given this anti-septic soap that I have to use and it dries out your skin fierce, the bad thing is I can't even use lotion on that area to make my skin feel better.  But this is all for the greater good so I continue to follow doctors orders and use it.  I had my final consultation last week, no golf for 6 to 8 weeks (boo!), no driving for 1 to 2 weeks (double boo!), so it looks as though I will be housebound for a while, which again if you know me well, that is going to be super hard.

So surgery is tomorrow and although I am nervous I am excited as well.  So please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.  Surgery is at 8:45 am...
