…Heart On Her Sleeve…

2 days!  i think i’ve got all my ducks in a row.  i’ll be picking up the vitamins i need in the states cause they’re a hell of a lot cheaper there. i have protein powders, blender bottles, a magic bullet… pretty well everything i need.

tomorrow i’m on clear fluids all day, meaning today is my last day with solid foods for about 3 weeks. weird.  we will leave for ypsi around noon.  boyfriend and mom are coming with me because they are awesome. the hospital phoned me last week telling me to report there at 8 am wed morning and that i was the second surgery of the day.  this makes me happy, because i won’t have the entire day to wait around and drive myself nuts with nerves.  so far i think i’ve held it together pretty ok-ish.  i’m sure you might get a different story from my boyfriend who’s experienced some anxiety-related snappyness.  we always take it out on the ones we hold dearest, right?

sometimes i feel like i’ve been waiting a long time for this day to come, but honestly, i can’t believe i’m only two days away.  these last couple months have flown by.  at this point, i just want to be in the recovery room

by this time next week, i’ll already have been sleeved!

hi there! i’m writing this from my ocean-view room in gorgeous barbados.  i’m enjoying a wonderful vacation with my even more wonderfuler boyfriend, and it occurred to me that my surgery date is exactly one month from today!  i will celebrate by drinking (more) rum!

getting very excited about the whole thing now
