Coming up on the big day.. Was doing great mentally preparing myself, until last night. Feeling nervous. Got a call today with the 64 questions the pre-admission nurse asks. It's going to be a 6 1/2 hour surgery. Told them I'm recovering alkie, and my concerns about the pain management. She said its real important to walk alot afterward. In order to do that the pain needs to be controlled. Having that reason will help with the fear.

Hope to be back next week. Fingers crossed.
