I'm not a nervous person by nature. Very laid back, really (or as my husband would say, "lazy" lol) and I most often look at things in a positive mindset...I just *know* things will work out in my favor. That being said, I find myself less than 24 hrs from this "irreversible" procedure and my tummy is feeling it. Not sure why I can't shake that one word from my head, but it's hanging over me like...well, I don't know what.
I had my pre-op call from the nurse to review my medical history. I am glad that I've made it perfectly clear that I can not take percocet for pain (makes me *so* sick)...not sure why Dr's always want to prescribe it to me. Turns out I won't be stuck in the "recovery area" the entire time before discharge. While considered outpatient, it is a 23 hr stay, so I get to go up to a real room once one becomes available. That means less foot traffic, more privacy, and walls rather than curtains separating me from other patients. Woo!
Now I'm just waiting for the call from the surgicenter to know when to arrive in the morning. At this point, surgery is scheduled for 10 am, so I'm guesstimating arrival around 8-8:30 am.
