gettin a little more nervose. this is what tomorrow is going to look like:
leave for the hospital at 7am and have a PICC line (a type of IV) placed at 8am. this should not take more than 30 minutes. then i go up to the pre-op floor and my surgery is at 12:15... i'm bringing my portable DVD player and some funny movies to watch while i'm waiting.
at noon i'll be brought down to the OR so they can get everything ready...
then after i wake up, they're bring me back to the PACU (recovery area) and after i'm there for a bit and they're confident i'm not going to die or something, i'll be transfered up to the surgical recovery floor.
i have a few things that are making me feel a little better... someone made me a scooby doo hospital gown so i could wear something that was my own instead of the boring blue gowns they have in the hospital after my surgery is over... i'm also bringing my little Buddha in the OR with me. they always let me bring him in... they wrap him in sterile gauze and then wrap him into my hand so i dont drop him when i'm asleep.
i picked out which song i want to listen to in the OR as i'm going to sleep. they let you listen to your headphones untill you fall asleep. i decided on "American Baby" by dave matthews band.
i'm also bringing my hurley cap so i'll feel like someone special to me is with me and a picture of my cat.
