Surgery Eve

I've been given a report time tomorrow morning of 6:30 a.m. No food after midnight; no liquids after 4:30 a.m. Yeah, because I'll be up drinking coffee at 4. Not.

Early times like this concern me. Is my surgeon a morning person? How about the anesthetist? The nurses? I don't want any screw-ups.

I am so not a morning person so I'm thinking I will probably just roll out of bed around 6, take a quick shower and go. It's not like I can eat or anything anyway.

Last year, I barely slept the night before surgery and I have a feeling tonight will be more of the same. I have to keep reminding myself that this time won't be as bad, but unfortunately, the only thing I have to compare it to was pure hell. 

Wish me luck tomorrow, and for a steady hand for the surgeon.

    4. Good luck! You’ll be fine. My surgery was an early morning one too, and everything turned out great. 🙂

    6. My second one kicked butt over my first one, actually, and time in rehab is flying.
    I’d raise a glass to your health and quick recovery, but the last beer went in the pot for soup tonight!
    You’ll be just fine, and won’t need any rehab this time around. Best of luck, and don’t forget to check the underwear…

    12. Yeah, that’s always puzzled me too. Are all surgeons morning-persons? What’s wrong with afternoons?

    13. I don’t know how often you go through your email but I sent a little pick me up.
    I hope you enjoy it.
