Title: Surgery is tomorrow!
Post by: RachelSta on May 28, 2013, 07:12:37 pm
Tomorrow is my translab surgery to remove my AN at University of Michigan! I'm scared, but so ready for it to be over. I had a great long weekend with my kids. This morning I got to say thank you to my kids' teachers (in case I don't get to see them again today). I went to my last exercise class for a while and ran my a** off (not really, but I ran hard), went to lunch with my parents and some friends, did some stuff around the house, ran some errands, got a pedicure, and went out to dinner. It was a very nice day.

Now, all that's left to do is take a shower using anti-bacterial soap, try to sleep tonight, and take another shower with anti-bacterial soap in the morning. I won't get to sleep very long - I have to report to the hospital at 5:30 for my 7:30 surgery. I figure we need to leave home around 4:15-4:30 to make sure we get there on time. Lately, I have no problem falling asleep, but tend to wake up super early. I have a feeling the same thing will happen tonight.

Thanks to Connie Marie who I had the pleasure of meeting about a month ago, I have the magic scarf to bring me good luck!

I'll report back when I can! I do have a blog that my  mom will update if anyone is interested.
