Today I have surgery

[michellew1 72]

Well, it is finally here. Today I am having my surgery. I have to be at the hospital at 1:53 and surgery is at 3:53. I have already had a meltdown this morning. I am so nervous. Not about the surgery or that anything will go wrong because I have the good Lord on my side. I don't know why I am so nervous. Breathe! Prayers are welcome.

Hello everyone. I apologize for not posting sooner but my password wouldn't work. It was driving me crazy that I couldn't update everyone about my surgery.

I wanted to let everyone know that surgery went very well. No complications at all. I had a wonderful night nurse. I couldn't ask for a better nurse. My daytime nurse was awful. I only saw her about 2 times the whole day. I was beginning to think they had forgotten about me. I went into surgery a little earlier. It was suppose to be at 3:53 but they got me in there at 2:30. it took an hour and a half. I was walking around 10:00 that night. The daytime nurse wouldn't let me walk but the nighttime nurse got me walking. I was ready to go by that morning. But I got released at 7:00 that evening. While I was in the hospital, my blood pressure was amazing. I have never seen it that great before, even with 3 different BP medicines. They took me off all of them before I left. I have checked it since being home and it is still amazing. And my Blood sugar has never been so low. It runs in the 200-300 even with an insulin pump. While I was in the hospital, it ran around 120-130. I woke up this morning with a reading of 98. I am so excited.

Thanks for all the prayers and love.
