38 hours to go!

Tonight, at midnight, I start my clear liquids. Clear liquids for 24 hours and my magnisium citrate (mmmmm). Then nothing. Surgery is scheduled for 11am Monday, 2/23/09. I am so excited. Getting things together for the trip to the hospital. Do I take a book? Will I have time to read? What about a puzzle book? Maybe my son's DS? What do I want to wear home? So many questions, so little time. Tomorrow, Sunday, I am taking my two nieces to see the Disney on Ice show, then mom and I are leaving for Fremont to stay overnight in a motel. So I need to take care of this tonight. I guess that I had better get back too it. 38 hours to go. whooo hoooo!

I have a surgery date!

So, I finally have a surgery date, February 23, 2009. I have had all the tests and passed...all the Drs. NUT's and Psych's have given me the green light. I am not nervous, yet anyways. So, I am going on my Final Food Tour. You know, last seafood dinner, last chinese food, last pizza. But, I am trying to do so in moderation. No weight gains before surgery. So, here are my Top 10 Things to Look Forward to.
1. Sitting with my knees bent and being able to wrap my arms around them.
2. Putting on my socks without having to lift my foot up to my other knee with my hand.
3. Getting off the couch with out having to use my arms.
4. Getting off the floor without having to roll onto my stomach.
5. Strain-free butt wiping.
6. Energy!
7. New clothes
8. Breathing normally after a flight of stairs.
9. Being in the pictures, not just behind the camera.
10. Sleeping without a machine.
11. Good-bye camel toe
So, I am looking forward to checking these wishes off one by one.
