I'm actually looking forward to surgery and getting this thing out of my body. After completing clinicals I think I'm more nervous for my time there afterwards. Sometimes I wish this had happened before I went to nursing school. How silly is it that I'm already starting to think what I should bring with me. The only time I've ever stayed in the hospital is when I had my son, talk about two different extremes.
I had my pre-op appointment last week and it went well. I have to be in for surgery on Friday the 8th at 11:30am. Opening Day...lucky me. If I remember correctly from my laparoscopy, they have you come in super early for your appointment. All the usual...can't eat after midnight the night before but then I guess I can't eat or drink for 5 days after the surgery. Yeah pretty much I think that might suck. Perhaps I should use it as training and apply for Survivor after this.
I'll try and post again before Friday, going to try and have someone update my blog for me while I'm incapable but then hope to have my laptop with me. I'm sure I'll have great stories from the hospital.
XOXOXO
Barbara
