Just mostly trying not to indulge in a freak-out at this point...I think I'm pretty well packed and ready to go to the hospital tomorrow.
Serious case of nerves; I hate needles and am not a huge fan of pain either, but I am willingly submitting myself to these things in a matter of hours. I'm either crazy or incredibly committed to this new start!
I hope to be online as soon as I feel up to it tomorrow; I'll keep you posted.
Wish me luck--and I'll take any and all prayers, good mojo, positive thoughts or whatever else you've got.

I know the feeling! That day before surgery was crazy :).
ReplyDeleteEverything will be ok. They will give you pain killers -- take them and don't let the pain really start -- it is easier to manage pain if you don't let it get started than if you try to kill it after it has really gotten going.
Good luck -- I will be praying for you!
Thanks, Elaine! I'm in the midst of the magnesium citrate "bowel prep"--ohhhh joy. :)
DeleteI remember from my two C-sections that there's no reason to wait till the pain level hits 8 or 9 to press that magic med-button. They don't hand out medals for she who uses the meds least--so I will be using it as often as needed. No worries.
I'm as prepared as I can reasonably expect to be, now it's just my job to show up, and do what I'm told before and after!
