    Surgery in 2 days... nervous :/

    I am always nervous about being put out , my doctor joked and said they don't pay him to put me to sleep they pay him to wake me up lol, didn't stop me from sobbing in the table as they were prepping me , you will be ok deep breaths you'll be done in a wink , best of luck
  11. I had my surgery on the 19 and the swelling has made me not hungry at all the thought of food makes me cringe maybe it will be different when the swelling goes down but my family had a big cheesy pizza yesterday and it didn't even tempt me
