Pre-Op Orders

So yesterday I went to pick up my Pre-Op orders from Dr. Todd's office.  Got all my instructions and found out my surgery time is at 11:30 a.m. on Tues.  Had to go pre register at Providence and have some more blood drawn for more tests and one more EKG.  The nurse asked me a TON of medical questions which is fine with me.  The more they know about me the better the surgery will go. 

Sunday night at midnight is the last time I can have a bite of food.  Monday morning I get to drink some fun goop/medicine in the morning and spend the day in the bathroom "clearing" my intestines. I'll have to charge up my iphone and load a good movie on it. :)  Clear food only that day like jello and chicken broth.   No food or even liquids after midnight on Monday/Tues. then I have to be at the hospital by 9:30 then surgery at 11:30.

So that's it!  Today and tomorrow I plan on doing a final cleaning of the house and making some menus and calendars for my husband so he knows what's is what.  I have some big plans for starting to excises.  I'll start my 30 walks in 30 days about 2 weeks after my surgery. After that challenge I would like to do 30 hikes in 30 days or 30 bike rides in 30 days.  We'll see what the Alaska weather brings. :-) So if your a friend of mine and would like to join me on this challenge please let me know.

My husband Dan will post status updates of my surgery on Facebook and I'll blog as soon as I am able to.

Talk to you soon!!
