Tomorrow is surgery day. I'm getting nervous, and stressing a bit. I have so much I still wanted to get done that I'm sure isn't going to be able to be done for a week or 2 after all this. Yes, I'm a little OCD. So it bothers me really bad. My husband is off for surgery day, and my mom is helping me out the day after. So I'll get a day and half of rest before I'm back to the real world. I'm worried about how I will be feeling Wednesday, but no matter what, I somehow have to make it to Kristopher's T-Ball practice. He had his first practice yesterday, and we've learned that he can't focus very well. He's the youngest on the team, and probably the most hyper. It worries me a little, and we had a talk to the coach, and there is a plan in action on making this work and they think it will help him a lot to be apart of the team. I hope so. I'm not sure what else I can do to get him invovled in more things. There isn't anything closer than 45 mins for preschool, and I feel that's a bit far for him to for 2 hrs a day. And I'm not paying for him to go to daycare just for interaction with other kids, when I'm here all day. Oh, and pre-k is a joke here. It's for low income only. So normal families just are out of luck. It makes me mad. Anyway, t-ball it is for now, and he was so excited about it. I think after the talk with the coach, this can work. So I have to be there Wednesday. No matter what. I should be ok right? I'll take a chair along this time. I'm sure that will be a lot more comfortable than those crappy bleachers.
I stocked up on soup and crackers. That's my meal plan for the first few days after this. Soup, crackers, toast, etc. I plan on taking it real light with foods till next week. Then I'll start to experiment what will work I guess.
Back to my list...The things I have left, require me to be outside and of course, it's raining. Oh and tomorrow we are supposed to drop from this nice 60 degrees we had yesterday, to low 40's for the highs, and risk of rain and snow tomorrow. Real fun.
Does anyone have any tips about tomorrow? I'm not real concerned with the surgery too much. I've been knocked out a few times before and did alright. They have my chart marked about the BP, because with both my D&C's, my bp dropped pretty low after I've come out of anesthesia . The main thing that bothers me right now is the over hour ride home. Is it standard to get anti nausea meds or will I have to ask for the special? My past 2 surgeries, we lived close to the hospital, I did not have very much of a drive to get home at all. This one will be a good hour, more if we hit it at rush hour. In some pretty crappy traffic at that.
I'm just ready for this to be over and to move on. I want to get on with the treatments. I want to have hope with it again. I just feel very blah today.
Sorry, I don't really have any tips for you. I'm sure you'll do fine, but if you know you have some nausea problems and such I just hope you can do the best to minimize those problems. If you really aren't feeling well, try to stay at the hospital longer and hopefully more time to recover will help. I'll keep you in my thoughts tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer to look up your pharmacy. I'm sure I'll be able to get them from somewhere and at least I still have a couple of days till I need it. There's a good chance my clinic may have one on their shelves or in their fridge too. I'm not too worried, but I'll take that number if you get a chance.
