I will admit it, I couldn't sleep last night. I was exhausted all day, because I ate like a pig and paid for it, but still couldn't get my brain to shut off last night. I've never had surgery before, and the fear of the unknown is the most powerful fear there is. I am praying a lot, asking for God to guide my surgeons' hands and to give me courage and strength.
The colon surgeon called last night, making sure I didn't have any unanswered questions. In all this chaos, I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful team of people caring for me.
I am also fortunate to have such a supportive family and group of friends and coworkers who have reached out and offered encouragement, a helping hand, a hug. Even virtual ones, from those who are far away. It is so appreciated.
Today, I am on the "Clear Fluid" routine...water, juice, broth, jello. Nothing after midnight.
30 hours and counting!
