My surgery has been set for 12:35 tomorrow. We need to be at the St Lukes Hospital for 8:35am. The surgery could potentially be earlier. I'm not feeling at all nervous, just very hungry and would have wished it was earlier as I cannot take anything at all by mouth after midnight tonight. I've made it this far!
Oh forgot to mention. I've lost 8 lbs on this liquid diet!
This is the hospital where I'll be staying:
Faxton-St. Luke's Healthcare
1650 Champlin Ave,
Utica, NY 13502

Last Day Before Surgery - A.M.
My appointment for pre-admission is at 10:30 this morning at Faxton Campus. I don't think I've been drinking enough water and am a bit dehydrated, so now Geoff has told me that I MUST empty my BIOS bottle by lunchtime. I feel fine except for being a bit weak and my tongue is dried out...weird.
Our hotel room comes with a Continental breakfast, so I just sent Geoff down so he can fill up his belly. He didn't want to go, but I told him if the tables were turned around that I'd be going. I hope he brings me up Jello! LOL
I didn't sleep very well last night. Geoff said I was talking in my sleep and started to cry. He says that I was saying 'Tell the people to go away!'...but then he held me and I felt better. Maybe it's just my way of letting some of the stress out.
Well I guess I should be getting dressed and ready for my appointment. I'll touch base again later, after all my appointments are over.
10:30 Pre-Admission
3:00 Nutritional Evaluation
Oh....forgot to mention...I'll be able to tell you how much I've lost on the liquid diet after my appointments. I think I've lost at least 5 lbs...we'll see. :D
Cheers
