Waiting in Pre-op
Sooo, I'm sitting here in the surgery center just waiting. I got my IV in, got a shot of heparin to reduce risk of blood clotting, got some pepcid in the IV, and a scopolamine patch behind my ear for nausea. My surgeon has come by to see if I have any questions and shoot the breeze, and now he's assisting on another procedure until it's time for mine.
So, I wait, and fret. I did get to meet another OH'er who's getting surgery today too, which was neat. But even with all my anxiety and second-guessing, I know this is the best thing I could do for myself.
I'm ready.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
