I’m getting ready to go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow as we have to be at the hospital at 6 am. Surgery is at 7:30. Should be home by 1-2 pm. Some of my pre-op instructions are pretty amusing:
-Take a shower and shampoo your hair the night before surgery. (but I can’t do it the day of)
-Do not wear makeup, jewelry (even my wedding ring!), nail polish (except my toes), or hair pins to the hospital.
-Do not apply lotion or perfume the day of surgery. (apparenty the little monitoring devices could slide off.)
I’ve made flash cards with frequent requests like water, medicine, etc. And a friend at work supplied me with a little bell to ring to summon J. Ha! He’s so lucky! =) I have my dry erase board at the ready, books to read, and a list of movie requests. The freezer is stocked with ice cream and I just made a gallon of sweet tea. Things should go swimmingly and I should be all set. So, I may not be posting for a couple of days, depending on how I’m feeling. Wish me luck!
