Starting to get a little nervous - Monday is the big day!

[Guest guest]

My surgery is Monday morning at 7:30 am and I have to be there by 6am.

The person driving me would sleep til noon or later given the choice

so getting up at 4:30 am is going to really suck for him.

I've been waiting for this for so long, it's hard to believe it is

almost here. My white cell count was up a little and I was afraid they

were going to cancel it but I haven't been sick and feel fine. My the

previous test also showed it a little high. I figure I either have

something chronic (I don't even want to contemplate that) or maybe it

is naturally high and that's why I never get sick. I actually have

never even had the flu in my 37 years. My coworkers are quite jealous.

I've been somewhat obsessive about this process and I think I've

bought about everything you can imagine. I'm not worried about the

pain. It's silly but I think the thing I dread the most is having to

go 24+ hours with no water and drinking the nasty stuff for the leak

test. Oh yea, and having to spend 3 days in their oh so fashionable

hospital gown.

I hope I don't have too much trouble laying down like I've read

because I don't have a recliner to sleep in. I guess I'll just have to

suck it up and deal with it.

If anyone has any last minute advice, I'd be happy to hear (er, read) it.

I apologize for the rambling. It's what I do when I get nervous.
