3/3/2010 - Today is the Big Day

Mar 02, 2010

In 45 minutes I will be off to the hospital.

Last night I went to the Support Group at South Nassau Hospital. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it because I was still suffering the after effects of the Bowel Prep .

I'm so happy that I went. It was a really good meeting and everyone was excited that I was going in tomorrow. It truely was a support group. I also got some last minute tips from the long timers. Such as a demonstration as how to get out of the bed. They brought up a good point normally you utilize your stomach muscles to sit up and then swing your legs out of the bed and then stand. This puts a strain on the stomach which is going to be extremely sore. They showed me an easier way. Kinda scooting to the edge and swing your legs down. They also suggested that I sleep in the chair and not the bed. As great as the nurses at the hospital are they may have difficulties helping a 300 pounder get up.
