I love ya, tomorrow!

Ah, so tomorrow is the day! The day I have been waiting for for what feels like forever. I started getting sick towards the end of May... so this has been a long journey. I am so ready to get this dang gallbladder out of me! People ask if I am nervous, but its actually quite the opposite. I am giddy with anticipation! I can't help but wonder what it is going to feel like to not be sick anymore. I have grown, begrudgingly so, accustomed to the pain and constant nausea. However, I will not miss it for one minute. To me, surgery is cool. I am simply fascinated by the whole process. I am really hope to get some pictures, or better yet, a video of the surgery. It is not gross... it is educational! I am a nursing student after all. ;). We will see if I get that or not. This is also not my first surgery, and for some reason, I doubt it will be my last. There is no sense in worrying. Whatever happens happens. And there is such a small chance anything would go wrong, why worry? The day will play out something like this...

1. Wake up

2. Put on sweats and my glasses- no jewelry, including my nose ring :/

3. Be at the hospital at 11:30

4. Fill out more paperwork

5. Wait

6. Go in for pre-op: this will include a urine sample :/ ha, blood drawn, iron test and finally an IV

7. Wait some more

8. Meet my anestesiaologist who will explain to me the medication I will be given: something to put me to sleep, duh, and something for nausea!

9. Head to the OR

10. At this point the surgery will take place. It is a fairly simple procedure and they are doing it laproscopically, which significantly decreases my recovery time!

11. Wake up and feel like crap

12. Spend a few hours in recovery (hopefully I won't need to stay overnight!) 

13. Head home and sleep. I will not be getting any pain killers so I hope sleep comes easy!

I am excited for tomorrow! I will keep everyone posted on how I am feeling afterward. Prayers are always appreciated
