Update on surgery!!!

Location
Keller,
So my proctocolectomy is scheduled for next Tuesday, yikes!!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time.
I asked the surgeon a million questions and feel pretty good about the pre op appt.
Unfortunately I won't get to meet my stoma nurse until the day of. However, I did request a bunch of free samples of supplies that I've already been receiving so that i can try a few different systems out before hand.
It's going to take Tuesday forever to get here!!!

If I were you JennaRae...I'd be having a serious amount of food, a pedicure, a wax and a bottle of the BEST champagne!????
 
I know you aren't eating yet, but when they do let you have soft foods, the Baylor Hospital macaroni and cheese is to die for!!


Edit: Considering how hard this surgery is on most of us, maybe I should rephrase that to the Baylor Hospital macaroni and cheese is divine!!


Big hugs!!! :ghug:

Keller,
Thank you so much everyone! I posted an update just a few minutes ago as a new thread on the stoma subforum.
I am in a decent amount of pain but doing great! Speaking of pain I'm a little dopey right now from the drugs and can hardly see the screen! Look for my update I'm still kinda new here and dint know where to post things.

I can't wait to hear from y'all, y'all are all so sweet and no its not the drugs talking!!! Lol
