I know I haven't posted here since my surgery. It's just that the whole experience is so front and centre in my life that I've just been blogging it from my main site. So head over there and I'll be back here eventually as the hugeness of what I've had done fades into the background.

Well I guess that liquid diet thing works - I've lost about 8lbs since last Wednesday. I cleansed my colon (hey how's that for TMI?) today and it was going just fine until I got to Mary Catherine's school to pick her up. I managed to get home - but I certainly didn't stop when I ran through the door!

I have to be at the hospital tomorrow for 7am.. it's 11pm now. I hope I will be able to sleep.

I'm having doubts and lots of worries. I really hope I make it through the operation and look back at this post and think I am just being silly. I know that there are serious things to worry about after the surgery - but right now I'm mostly afraid of the actual operation.

I hate being put to sleep and waking up in recovery. Hate the buzzy feeling in my ears as they give me the cocktail that zonks me out. I don't like waking up in recovery not being able to see because they put my glasses somewhere. I'm not too keen on the morphine making me itch like a banshee...

So off I go in the morning. I'll update when I can from the losing side!

Okay - being on a liquid diet for a week really sucks.

Just thought I'd share that.

My operation is only a day away now... I'm really very, very nervous.
