1 week to go....

Mar 02, 2010

Today i had the pre admission appointment at the hospital. It was really long, i was there for about 2 and a half hours. They told me more of what to expect so that was good. Apparently i might not be in hospital for as short a time as i thought (2 nights) and maybe in there for up to 7 nights. This is a relief. I was seriously worried about getting cut open and then sent on my way. So knowing that if i need to be then i may be there for a while longer. I hate hospitals, i hate being woken up all the time, but it is comforting to me to know that pain meds and trained nurses and doctors will be there if i need anything or is something goes wrong.
So tomorrow i get to speak to the surgeons registrar. I am going to speak about the possibility of getting a sleeve instead of the VBG. I know that my surgeon does the sleeve, i just dont know if he can do them under medicare. I am really crossing my fingers as the more i research this the more i want the sleeve. If however i cant get it and it comes down to me getting the vbg, i will still go ahead. I will work it, i just know that the sleeve would be 10000 times better.
It is really blowing my mind to think that this time next week it will all be done. Well the surgery part of it all. This is the last wednesday of my fat/lazy painful (joints etc) life. From this time next week i will be on the path to the new me. Its scary, and exciting. I think today i am a bit more comforted and not entirely freaked out like i was last time i posted. The rollercoaster of emotions is insane. One second i am terrified, the next minute i am excited, happy, scared, nervous, every emotion under then sun.
Well thats all for now, argh! yay for a new me!
