Surgery is Tomorrow!

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm playing it cool. I've completed my "to-do" list (including pedicure) and have just had my final shake of the day. It's almost 7:00p here and I'm about to set my alarm for 5:00a as I have to be at the hosptial at 7:00a tomorrow. I have everything in order to the very best of my ability and am keeping a positive attitude that things will go well with the surgery. The only thing that I'm concerned about is my past history of very bad nausea/vomiting after going under general anesthesia. My solution is that I'm going to write in Sharpie on both of my forearms "HIGH NAUSEA RISK" before I leave for the hosptial. Yes, I may be the laughing stock of the OR but I really don't care and hopefully it will ensure that I get the drugs that I need in the recovery room. I'm a little tired of the High Protien Slimfast shakes that I've been drinking for the last two weeks, but honestly the shakes weren't that bad. The hunger was bad, but the shakes were entirely bearable. So I'm off to watch a movie or something and turn in early. Wish me luck tomorrow!
