Excitement! 3 days until the surgery

I got a call from my doctor today with my surgery time. I am scheduled to have surgery at 10:00 am this Thursday, June 27, 2013. I have to be there 2 hours early - no surprise there. Tomorrow I start my clear liquids for 48 hrs, which will probably be tough - they said it would be, since you aren't getting rid of any hunger hormones yet. So, my big ol stomach is gonna be filled with big ol water, powerade zero, and isopure... Weeee............

Talked some more with my family about arrangements for later this week, and gathering together what they can bring, if they want to send something. For example, sugar free jello, pudding, unsweetened applesauce, empty jars that can hold liquids, popsicle molds, etc. Dave went out grocery shopping to pick up some of the things I needed, and kinda failed. :( I didn't write things in exact detail on my grocery list, since I thought I was going out - I knew what I meant. Case of Powerade Zero Grape? By that I meant an 8-pack or two of the bottles in the plastic wrap. Dave came back with a literal case of the large bottles. Works well, and is sweet and endearing that he goofed, but still - unnecessary. Unsweetened applesauce? Picked up mini cups. I meant to get it in a large jar, since I will need to be using it daily for taking medications, and I probably won't be finishing a little cup doing that, even with doing medications in the morning and evening. 

Anyway, he is trying, and I thanked him and piled on appreciation for his attempts. It's going to be a bumpy ride - but we're both learning, and we're a good team, so we'll keep on keepin' on. :)
