Countdown to surgery

The mail man surprised me with a very sweet present of one of you. (you know who you are :) It is so incredibly awesome that people across the globe care about my little family that much. I was really touched by it.

Also I felt even more guilty for neglecting my blogs and blog friends for the last couple of days.

As a family we decided the days prior to the surgery should be filled with nothing but fun. So we did. The zoo, petting farms, playing with the kite and having dinner at the beach.

Tomorrow is my surgery and I think I am over most of my fears. And the good news is, I am getting one of four private rooms. Also the hospital told me I can nurse Roo after just 6 hours after the anesthesia (in stead of 24 hours) and she is allowed to stay with me in my private room. What a relieve.

It's now 10:22 PM and I am way to awake. I have to be at the hospital at 7.30 AM. Surgery will most likely be at 8 AM or a little later. I've asked my husband to update through Twitter or by posting on this blog.

See you all on the other side!

And dude, is anesthesia really the bomb? Is it like a happy la la land - drug or should I take the opportunity of this short not nursing period and drink a bottle of Chardonnay first?

All the best for your little holiday. And the short answer is - don't touch the chardonnay at this stage, are you not on nil-by-mouth till the surgery.

Everyone reacts different to anesthesia - but I find it a little, very deep sleep, that when you wake up, things are a little uncomfortable because someone has probably made some little cuts in you.

Wonderful a bout the private room and being able to have Roo with you.
