My bag is packed

I am one week pre-op.  Was talking to my mom yesterday, bored out of my mind and hungry.... all head hunger, so I did not eat... I told her of the list that Kathy posted the link to for everything you should pack for surgery.  She suggested that I pack now, since next Saturday we will be in Reading, PA and Sunday I need to go get nails done and polish removed.  I also need to do the last grocery store run pre-surgery for stuff like 2% cheese and ricotta cheese.  It makes it feel so real.  Is this crazy or what??  Being on opti-fast for 2 weeks didn't make it feel real.... but packing my bag made it feel so darn real to me. 

I know some surgeries are coming up this week, so I'd like to take a moment and wish everyone a safe and speedy recovery.  Will keep my new friends in my thoughts and prayers.

Good luck, and keep us posted. You'll do great.

Thank you!!  The nervousness is starting to subside.

It's normal to be nervous.

You are going to do wonderfully.  I would do it again every year knowing what I do now.  It's that worth it.

Thanks for the kind words.  Much appreciated.

Good luck. You will do fine.  When feeling overwhelmed in the hospital and post op just remember to sip, sip, walk, walk.

That's EXACTLY how I felt. When hubby & I were packing our bags, I was like "holy cow this is really happening!"

My surgeon is 3 hours from my home, so on the drive down after work the night before I had that feeling, and ESPECIALLY when we checked in to our hotel. 

This next week is going to FLY by, and you'll be post op before you know it! :)

Thank you both for your support, words of wisdom and kindness.  I have the next week planned out to the minute.  Not going to let anything slip past me.  

New to the site. My surgery is also a week away. I feel your excitement! I would love to know where u found the list of things to pack! Good luck!
