Three days left!

Dec 14, 2009

I am absolutely terrified about my upcoming surgery. It is this friday!  I'm starting my full liquid diet today, but i'm just terrified about two main things. The jp drain and the nasal intubation. The jp drain is going to say in for a week after surgery and i think with the nasal intubation, well, i think they take that out after i wake up.

it makes my stomach queesy to think about things being in me for a while, like an IV or the nasal intubation or the jp drain.

For those of you that have had the nasal intubation and/or the jp drain (i've had an IV before), was it really awful?

Plus i'm really starting to get scared because I don't want to grieve over food. I had a "last supper" meal tonight and I know I shouldn't have but I am already feeling upset about it.

Maybe I'm just being silly but I'm just so nervous 

Oh, and does anyone have a list of things that were really helpful to bring to the hospital? I've heard chapstick was a lifesaver but i'm not quite sure what else to bring.


Please give me any words of wisdom you have and send your prayers my way! I really need some help to calm my nerves :(

Next time I update will probably be after my surgery, but I will definitely check my messages.
