I have been feeling really tired, I am getting enough sleep (I can't go to bed any earlier than I am!) But I just feel really Lethargic, its hard to describe. I feel like I could just call up in a ball and sleep.
I am also feeling ill, sick to the stomach. I am sure it's the shakes. I couldn't eat my salad tonight, I had my bar and 2 glasses of water.
I can't believe how close Tuesday is.
I had a huge scare today, the phone rang and Jase answered it, came into the bathroom to tell me it was the surgeon's office. They ask me have I been given a quote for surgery. I say yes and tell her how much I was quoted. She then say's no that it is $5000 more than I was quoted. I burst into tears, that's it, its over. I don't have another $5000. She tells me to find the quote I was given and to ring her back. I race down the hallway crying to see Jase with a very worried look in his eyes. I find the quote and ring her straight back. No definately the amount I was quoted, oh yes she say's that's right. OMG! She apologises profusely (sp) and tried to calm me down.
Finally I settled enough to ask her a few questions. I don't need any pre admission appointments, it is done the morning of surgery, I don't need to do a bowel clean out, they don't go anywhere near my bowel. I may not be able to drive for a few days to a week, depends on how I recover. I can't lift anything heavy. Bring a magazine because I don't want to be staring at the wall waiting for my appointment time. They will let me know Monday what time my op is being done.
Tried a For me' Yoghurt tonight, seeing I didn't eat my salad I thought I better try something else. I got the sticky date pudding flavoured one. Can tell you one thing, it needs more sticky date pudding!
Bought a little travel pack of toiletries today ready to pack my bag and some toothpaste etc.
I have been really worrying about my emotions after surgery. I don't take pain well and of course there will be the emotions of have I done the right thing. Every time I look in the mirror I know I have made the right decision.
What a day, so many emotions in such a short time frame.
I am ready for bed again.
