One more day until surgery. I'm sitting at home all day today waiting on a phone call from the hospital to tell me when I need to be there. Now that I have purchased all of these vitamins I have found out that liquid vitamins are available. I'm wondering if I have made the wrong purchases. I can probably take them back at some point. I haven't opened them so Wal-Mart will probably take them back.
I've been on a clear liquid diet for several days now. I can't say that its been enjoyable. My Olive Garden left overs were staring me in the face the whole time. What hell has that been I tell you. My dad made himself a slice of toast yesterday morning and toast never smelled so good. I drove back to Pittsburgh yesterday too and faced food the whole way. I never realized how much of our lives is focused around food. Everywhere I went food was either available or advertised. I was sitting at a traffic light and a truck went by with a pizza on the side of it. I had to go to the grocery store to get sugar-free Popsicle for post-op. Not knowing the layout of the store, as I had not been in this particular store before, I went through the bakery and hot foods section to get to the darn Popsicles. I walked to the gas station this morning to get some crazy glue and the smells from the corner deli just about knocked me over and my mouth started watering. This shit is really really hard.

Just took some pre-op pictures. One in my bathing suit (which I will not subject you to), two in different outfits (which I post below), and several at different angles in my birthday suit (which I would never even dream of posting. If it traumatizes me, imagine what it'll do to you!). Anyway, they are posted below.

Okay. So the rest of the day has been used on the phone. I got a phone call from the job offer in Reno. Last night I sent them a message saying I was declining. They have offered to re-negotiate the salary. Joy!!! So, now that re-negotiation is in progress the surgery will also be in progress soon.
The hospital finally called around 5:30. I need to be at the hospital at 11:00am and my surgery will begin at 1:00pm. I can take my own pillow, my teddy bear, and my knitting so I'm all set. Aunt Sally and Gram should be meeting up with me around 10:30am at the front of the hospital. Stoked, excited, and slightly nervous. I just want it to be here and over with already. I'm ready to start my life over again.
I should be home on either Saturday or Sunday. Erin D. will be retrieving me from the hospital and possibly staying with me for a day. Then Jessica B. will take over the reigns, until I feel capable of caring for my own melting carcass. So looking forward to shopping for new clothes without the sobbing and frustration that used to accompany such activity. Yay me!!! Let's get this party started!!!!
