Well, my pre-op visit with my doctor is Friday at 3:15pm and my surgery is next Thursday, Oct 11. My husband will be going with me to the pre-op visit and I am happy about that because it shows me that he is supporting me, and I know he has a lot questions regarding my recovery, diet routine, etc.
My nerves and fear has turned to excitement. I am just ready for a healthier life and looking forward to, hopefully, not having to take my hypertension medicine again and the constant threat of diabetes. And once in 8 years having a normal blood reading that is not 168/112 - no more freaking the hell out of my poor doctor.
