Tomorrow…

As I sit in bed trying to write down my most current thoughts on the BIG surgery that will be taking place tomorrow, I keep being interrupted by a rumbly tummy.  You see, that’s what happens when you guzzle an entire, 10 ounce, bottle of Magnesium Citrate.  Apparently the doctors like it when their work spaces are clean, work spaces being my insides.  So, not only have I been on a liquid diet for 2 weeks, now I can’t stop pooping.

Tomorrow’s the day.  I’ll be checking into the hospital at 8 a.m. for a scheduled 10 a.m. surgery.

Everyone keeps asking me if I’m nervous or scared and I’m really not.  I’m really confident in my decision and know that my doctor really knows what he’s doing.  I’m ready to get the procedure done and be on my way to a healthier life.  There is no doubt in my mind that everything will be fine and run smoothly!

I’m not sure how in or out of things I’ll be after surgery, so I’m not sure how often I’ll be able to update Twitter or Facebook, I will do my best to update as soon as possible.  If you follow @poobou on Twitter she will be getting a text of my status and has my full permission to update everyone, so you can always check in with her. (update: Cindy totally made me cry with this post.)

Thank you all for your love, support and happy surgery juju.  I appreciate you all so very much!!

XOXO

Like I told you last night, it really wasn’t intended to make you cry, it was just supposed to be happy.

I am super-excited for you today and I’m keeping my cell phone next to me at all times so I’ll get updates immediately. :)

Go kick ass, girl. xoxo

I’ve been totally checked out lately, but I wanted to say how wonderful I think it is that you are taking the initiative that will lead you to a healthier life. Wishing you a pain-free recovery.
