Yesterday Mike and I went to my three hour pre-op class. It wasn't as bad as I had thought - I did end up having questions that were answered along the way. However, as with any group/class/meeting, there was this one lady who... well, let's just say I wanted to sew her mouth shut. She kept complaining about how she had to have one of her labs redrawn, and seemed to think the class was for her and only her. Then when the nurse practitioner, Linda, mentioned that the surgeons had a resident they were training and he might be in the operating room, the woman quickly asked if he was a good doctor and "knew what he was doing". No, lady. They're playing sick games with their patients.
Anyway, enough about her.
Before the class I was having a bit of nerves. After all, I had made out my Last Will and Testament just hours before, along with a living will that tells Mike to let me die. Not something you do everyday, or something that you do at this young an age (I'm not 30 for another three days). After the class though, I felt a lot better about it all. So long as I wake up, I'll be happy.
The surgery is officially eleven days from today, a week from Tuesday. Now I'm just getting excited. I decided to make a 2008 scrapbook, and I'll start it off with pictures from my birthday party tomorrow night, then do a nice page of before shots. Three weddings and a trip to Australia later, the scrapbook should be very coffee table worthy.
That's all I got for now folks.

rg1294This is a brave thing to do, not only because it's surgery, but you are going to be changing who you are. You are a strong woman and I know you are going to look amazing, feel amazing, and live a very healthy life as a result of this.
I look forward to seeing you along your journey, and I hope I can support you.
By the way, lose the Crystal Light. The chemicals are evil. Use real berries, lemons, oranges, etc., to flavor your water. It's healthier for you and tastes better.
