Tomorrow’s my surgery.  If you need catching up, click here and here.  I haven’t been too worried about it all month but now that it’s the day before, I’m a little nervous.  I’ve seen way too much at work and it’s hard not to think about ALL the possibilities that result from even a minor surgery and sedation.  At work, I tied up loose ends, got my paperwork squared away, entered all my extended sick leave stuff, and just mentally prepared for what’s to come tomorrow.

My mom arrived this afternoon; I had a tasty burger, fries, and glass on wine for dinner; I showered with a specific type of soap that the nurse suggested; I’m drinking lots of water before midnight; and trying to distract myself with trying to plan activities for my two weeks off.

Starting at midnight (an hour from now), I’m not allowed to eat or drink anything until after surgery.  I guess there’s always the risk of vomiting while under anesthesia and then aspirating it.  Wonderful.  I sure hope I’ll be distracted enough to not be too hungry.  I also have to shower again in the morning before I head over to the surgery center.

Time for bed.
