Today is THE LAST DAY (dunh dunh dunh). I'm on clear liquids all day, which I've never had to do before. Better get used to it, though. I just pulled out the case of Isopure I ordered a few weeks ago, and I'll be cracking one of those open in a few minutes. I may take my baby to the mall so we can walk around and not be home near the kitchen, if there's time.
My goals for the day: Stick to the clear liquids (which won't be too hard, as the surgery is first thing tomorrow and I really don't want to mess anything up); get the kids and house ready for my absence tomorrow and recovery next week; make sure I'm really hydrated and, um, going into the surgery with a clear digestive system. I shaved my legs this morning to make sure I don't have any open nicks when I'm at the germ-filled hospital. I'm picking out something comfy to wear, and making a list of previous surgeries for the anesthesiologist.
THANK YOU to everyone for your kindness and encouragement. My family has been very supportive but I think they're kind of nervous and not sure about this. Reading your blogs and hearing about your successes has given me a lot to think about and look forward to. Best to all of you as everyone goes back to work, school and regular routines tomorrow.
