It's Saturday night and I'm ticking off all my "lasts" for a while. Last walk in the morning. Last swim today. Last paddle in the kayak last Wednesday. Last visit from my grandaughters yesterday.
I'm as prepared as I can be. I've asked the questions, read the book, been on holiday, walked, swum, kayaked, eaten well.
I've surprised myself at how calm I am at this stage. Not sure if it will continue to Tuesday morning, but I have only had a few moments when the nerves got the better of me but each time I've been able to distract myself and tell myself it's all going to be ok. I thought I'd be a mushy mess by this stage, I was more terrified 6 months ago! I really just want this thing over and done with now.
Tomorrow, I have the ironing to do, a last run round with the vacuum cleaner and pack my bag. Monday we leave about 1.30 to drive to Brisbane. My admission time is between 3 & 4pm. Then pre-op tests and try to get some sleep before the big day. I hope they *do* me early.
My daughter will let Michelle (Discombobulated) know how it goes and she can report here, anything of interest.
See you all on the other side!
