Well there are less than 24 hours to go before I arrive to the hospital. I am really excited (which I've mentioned to just about everybody probably several times haha) but I'm just starting to get nervous about it. The funny thing is - I HATE hospitals!! They seriously scare me. Surrounded by so much death and illness, weird funky smells, people in odd conditions - lets just put it simply and just say its really not my forte. Even when my older brother Nathan was in the hospital, when his appendix burst (he seriously almost died-don't even get me started on stupid doctors)- I didn't want to go. I was quite a bit younger then (maybe 9/10ish), but I cried and said I'll wait til he gets home etc...I was soo NOT going. Well of course my parents made me go, and it was fine, but I was still terrified. I had to leave the room after a while because the pulse heart rate machine thingy was beeping and I started crying again. They still freak me out, even on TV. I know wimpy but thats just me I guess :o)
I've also had my little runs in with hospitals by having spent a back surgery(1 whole unexpected week) and then with my illness before that, I've been in and out periodically throughout my life. I'm very skeptical of doctors in general. I had one Surgeon claim that he couldn't tell the exact problem with my back in the current xrays, but he was more than willing to cut me open without the diagnosis and find out what was wrong! I walked out of that office and told Dad, that there was NO WAY that guy was coming near me with a knife - I was 18 then. Obviously I changed Surgeons, but there is another interesting story about that one as well -too long to put here.
My current Surgeon I'm pretty comfortable with. I hope it stays that way after the surgery. If all goes well (cross your fingers and say those prayers please!!!!) then I'll be out of the hospital within a few hours after the surgery. Lucky for me my wonderful Madre is flying out from VA to come be with me!!! I'm hoping she can make some yummy Cinnamon Rolls while she's here!!! Oh and speaking of food, here is my list of food I desire to consume sometime after my surgery:
Chinese Food!!!!!!
Jack in the Box New Chicken Sandwich
Pizza - at least a slice

Good luck on your surgery. Surgery and hospitals are scary, but the warm blankets that they put on you (at least at the hospitals I have been to) in the operating room make it more comfortable. Have a good time with your mom helping you out!
