Well the meeting with my surgeon went really well. I like him. He told me that 85 percent of women with my condition need no further treatment after the surgery, so I'm hoping everybody sends me all the vibes, crossed fingers, prayers and other things that this will be so in my case.
Today, I'm getting to do one of those delightful lower gi preps, although, they assure me, it's easier than the colonoscopy prep...it's something like the equivalent of 18 doses of laxative over the course of the afternoon/evening. Clear liquid diet. I will certainly be ready for the happy juice come tomorrow.
Surgery is at 9:30 tomorrow. If they can do it laproscopically, I'll be in the hospital overnight, but on my feet on Thursday. If for some reason they have to do it with an incision, I'll be in the hospital 3-5 days.
Amazingly, all the tension I felt yesterday is gone, although I'm probably tenser than I realize. Nonetheless, I'm ready to get this thing done!

So let me say *HUGS* I am wishing you the best and sending you lots of positive energy about your surgery and recovery! You are such a strong, wise, and wonderful person, and I believe with my whole heart you will get through this medical hurdle with flying colors!
I know I have not talked to you recently, our schedules just have not seemed to match up. The few times I have tried to call you, you were either not home or sleeping. But you are in my mind and my heart, and I love you....
i hope they can do it without an incision, but if they have to do it tell the doctor to throw in a tummy tuck so it's more worthwhile (what's a couple minutes to remove the fat they cut through and trim the excess skin?).
take care of yourself after *hugs*
And that the hospital allows laptops, if you're there for several days!
I hope you have a quick and full recovery.
