GeTnBackuP 192 Posted October 7, 2017 I am having surgery on the 17th too! don't know about you but this pre-surgery liquid diet is for the birds - - gag me!! I have spent the last 3 days in the bathroom. My doc doesn’t require a pre op diet but he did tell me to lose 10-15 pounds last month. I don’t know if that was to actually lose or to see if I was committed enough. I did the liquid diet and lost 13.5 pounds and gained two back. He’s fine with it all and well surgery is in NINE days girl. We got this 2 RomAnca and Fibro Queen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeTnBackuP 192 Posted October 10, 2017 Update: I live in Sonoma County and, as many of you know, we are experiencing devastating fires here and in surrounding counties. My surgery is scheduled for 10/17 and I’m not positive it will happen. It turns out I am not sick but my sore throat was from the smoke I hadn’t even known about yet. Prayers out to all affected by this f***ed up sh** and hopes maybe to a surgery next week...[emoji15][emoji15] 1 RomAnca reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi there, thanks for asking- I am alive and my home is still standing but I’ve been evacuated, we’re all surrounded by 22 fires right now. So very sad. I spent a few hours in the clinic yesterday and do have a bronchitis flare up from all the smoke, Im on steroids and antibiotics. Phones and power have been down since Sunday and Medical offices have been swamped with fire victims so I just got ahold of the surgeons office today and they said surgery isn’t canceled but it isn’t necessarily on either- I find out Monday, the day before. I may postpone it for a few weeks because of my lungs and due to not having a place to recover- I’m in a local hotel with my son and two cats!!! I bet you’re excited 🤗🤗 how are you doing?? 1 RomAnca reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet you’re excited [emoji847][emoji847] how are you doing??I’m hanging in there. A little emotional yesterday and today but I’m still full speed ahead. Waiting on the phone all tomorrow. It’s so frustrating that we have to wait until a day before. I am trying to make arrangements for my 7 year old and I can’t until I know what time I have to be a the hospital. 1 GeTnBackuP reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
