More Pre-Op Gripes
Have I mentioned that I'm not supposed to eat or drink anything after midnight? By the time I'm out of surgery and unanesthetized, that will be at least 20 hours without any nourishment. The prospect is scary. I'm afraid I'll be breaking at least the drinking rule until Thursday morning. I'll be sick if I'm not hydrated enough coming out of anesthesia tomorrow night. And then after I'm prohibited from eating, I'll be too sore to want to eat. Not to mention that I won't be able to shower because I'll be taped up like a squashed package. I'll be twitchy by Friday night. I just keep telling myself it will be worth it.
