TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY

Can I say that I am nervous. Maybe even a bit afraid. I don't want to sound like a baby and whine...but is has been a long long time since I've have any type of surgery done. Surgery in the sense that they are going to put me under anaesthesia and I won't know what is going on until I wake up when it's all done.

The last time I was put "under" I had a few issues and puked for a day or so. Not fun. That is what I'm afraid of. Carpal Tunnel in and of itself is no big deal. A 10-15 min surgery to slit my wrist. It's the "after effects" that I'm nervous about. I am so thankful that Giovanni is taking a few days off work to babysit me.

The hospital has called and pre-admitted me. They have gone over my health history (that was fun! NOT), asked about medications, told me what to wear, to shower and wash my hair before I come~really~ they have to tell people to do that. Wouldn't you just know to do it on your own? This afternoon they will call and tell me what time to be at the hospital tomorrow. They say the doctor has a full day of surgery. They also told me no food, water, gum, breath mints, or anything after 11 PM tonight. Boy...that surgery better be early tomorrow! LOL

Tonight I will be asking for a priesthood blessing. How thankful I am to know that I can ask for a blessing when I feel the need and that my husband, and home teacher, friends, or neighbors are ready, willing, and worthy to bestow that blessing upon me. A blessing of health and comfort from the Lord. What could be more reassuring than to know that my Father in Heaven is watching over me.

I am sure that everything will be fine. I have a great surgeon, Curtis Johnson, he is one of the best at what he does. And I will be at a good hospital, UVRMC, and I will have the best aftercare around...Giovanni, and Brian! So...wish me luck!
