Final Pre-Op Appointment

I went in for my final pre-op appointment this morning. They drew my blood, made me pee in a cup, and did height and weight check. I saw a nurse who went over the basics and an anesthesiologist who went over how they will sedate me. I was informed that there is a good chance that because I will be in ICU after the surgery is performed that my husband may not be allowed to stay overnight in the hospital with me. My husband is my biggest supporter and I won't feel right if he can't be there with me the entire time. I also have never had even a minor surgery, so I feel as thought I need him there for mental support! I hope that my Doctor and Nurses can see that and make an exception. All he needs is a chair. Military men can sleep ANYWHERE! I just received my phone call with my report time and I have to be at Evans Army Community Hospital at 6:15 tomorrow morning. I am the first surgery of the day. I have already taken my magnesium citrate drink and I'm not feeling too well. I can only have clear liquids from here on out and after midnight I'm not allowed to have anything. I am in and out of the bathroom and I went as far as to ask Anthony if he can get a ride home from work tonight because I don't know that I could make the drive without going to the bathroom. Feeling trapped in your house like that doesn't feel too great! Tonight I have to shower and wash with a surgical scrub sponge and then again tomorrow morning before I go in. It looks like it's going to be an early morning. I hate waking up early because I get my best sleep between 5-9 AM after Anthony leaves for work. The next time I post I will be POST OP! So exciting. Even though I feel terrible right now, I know that this is what's best for my health and in a month or so I will have more confidence in myself and feel much better in a healthier body! Thank you, everyone, for your support! I will post again very soon!
