Well

Surgery is Monday... And I'm pretty cool about the whole thing. The liquid diet has been HELL !!! If it wasn't for the weakness and the nausea, I could have handled it, but everyone is effected differently. 

Sunday is all clear liquids. What the hell am I suppose to drink? Imagination, here I come. I wanted a hot dog so bad today, I nearly ate one. but figured it wouldn't be out of my system in time for surgery. so I ate a pickle. ran right thru me and cut my appetite. I am so glad I will never have to do this again. Amen.

No more revisions. This is the last hurrah. Finally, it's gonna be done and done right. praise god. So say a little prayer for me and wish me luck. The next time I write, I'll be POST-OP !!!

liquid diet

Day one: So far, so good. The shakes are filling. I found a 0 calorie 4C tea mix to drink made with Splenda so I can have something with flavor. There's also regular teas and water. I'll be ok. i have 9 more days 'til surgery. Monday I have to go to pre-testing. nothing after 9am, it's a 2:00pm appt. 

Talked to the surgeon. I'm gonna have my appendix removed along with a liver biopsy in addition to the surgery. I'm telling you, this is gonna be something. I have to call friday after 4pm to find out when to be there on Monday.

Well folks. It's the final countdown.
