Sooo here I sit resting the night before my procedure..... thinking... damn this is really happening... honestly i'm not afraid... i'm just going with the flow... But honestly I dont know how im gonna do it tomorrow I know I get up early no matter what.. and I need to be at the hospital at 12pm and my procedure is at 2pm.... man oh man its gonna be tough.

 

Well here is a lil something of what i wrote to a few friends earlier tonight

 

"Tomorrow I start my new journey in life, you can even say I will be born again. I will be celebrating my new birthday on Dec 17th, tomorrow after 3pm-ish I will start my new book in life"

 

Well thats all I got for now.... and I got a few things to do like clean up my room so it can be neat when I come back... god how I have no idea how to do that hahahaha

 

Wish me luck gang!

Good luck - you will do great! I had to be at the hospital at 5:00 AM on Friday two weeks ago -- so I hardly slept the night before -- I had a wonderful hospital at Cedars in L.A. and everyone was very nice and made me feel very comfortable -- I was nervous of course and begging for them to give me something to relax -- once they did the next thing I knew I was waking up! Everything went really well -- I was groggy and thirsty and sipped a little water and eventually was awake enough to make it to the bathroom and then the next thing I knew I was ready to go home. My first night and next day were uncomfortable with the gas and tenderness at the incision sites, but I wouldn't say painful -- of course I have had 3 children, so compared to childbirth this was NOTHING. I was encouraged to get up and walk around as much as was comfortable to help with the gas -- and it really did. You will do fine -- it is an exciting time -- joke with the nurses and assistants -- tell them to talk all positive about you while you are out -- it will all be over and you will be on your way -- hang in there - it is a new start for a better, healthier, happier life!!
