Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 -Cecilia: Thank you so much. Be ready for them to call at any time, ya know. I was down to 27 days and they called and said come in 5 days. Talk about lighting a fire under someone. YOu will be so fine with this. Today I went shopping for groceries with my neighbor, and she made the people at the store carry out all of my groceries for me. We were out about 1 1/2 hours, and I felt good, but was tired by the time we were done. So I came home and slept for 2 1/2 hours. Then my case manager called and told me that since it is so hot where I live, I need to really get all the 64 ounces of water in. SO she told me that no matter what, no matter how, get the water. SO I have permission to eat suger free jello and popsicles until they come out my ears. I knew that I could eat the popsicles, but I thought jello was only for meal times. She said she doesn;t care when I eat it as long as I get the extra water in me. She also said that the protein shakes count as fluid, too. SO between everything, today I got in 68 ounces of fluid. I literally had a 2 ounce cup in my hand all day long, except when I was sleeping. It is the only way to get it all. Anyway, the mother in law is coming to visit tomorrow and to take the oldest son back to school shopping, which is a life saver. You are having this surgery done in Fremont, correct? On the 26th? I am so excited for you, and I hope you have as easy a time as I appear to be having, thus far. Just don't be surprised if you talk about ALice in Wonderland and smoking a Hooka pipe while you are on the Morphine....that stuff does wierd stuff to you. Now my hubby has blackmail stories on me!!!! Take care my dear, and I'll talk to you again soon.
