Talking The Countdown is On!

In 10 days I have my surgery. Last Wednesday and This Past Monday I did all my preop testing. Bloodwork (twice for my anemia) ekg echocardiogram chest Xray Pulmonary Testing ( i was in a thing that looked like one of those booths they fly money around on gameshows) And everyone's favorite Endoscopy!
It was cool tho in the echo I got to watch my heart beating! and in the Endo I got to look over the doc's shoulder at my stomach. (which kinda looks like an intergalactic cave if you ask me) so I'm all good!
AAAAAAAAAAAH its all happening!

You must be just all fluttery thinking about it all! You sound so positive. Its kind of like counting sleeps till Christmas isn't it?

Keep posting through these upcoming days so we know how you're doing.

I remember the butterflies, the jitters, the anxiety and the excitement all rolled up in one. The one feeling I remember the most was a sense of peace.

Good luck KO.... but more so, you'll be in my prayers.

Hugs.

KO--Just wanted to chime in with my good luck wishes. I'm 6 months out now and remember the days before the surgery going from really excited to happy to nervous to etc. etc. What is the date of your surgery? & will someone be able to give us an update?

Heck or highwater (a possibility considering the rain in lovely jersey) you guys will get the update
