Pre-op blues.

[logansrogue]

Well, I crammed as much food into my stomach as I could between 12 and six. Probably not the best idea but I didn't eat anything this morning and I realised that I had to eat something before fasting. I didn't really eat that much. I ate:

- 2 toast and cheese sandwiches
- handful of rice crackers
- a steak bar (meat thing)
- chocolate icecream and some wafers
- half a cup of yogurt
- a bit of chicken

So that's two meals worth of food, I guess. It was hard to get down but I didn't want to be too hungry tomorrow. I hate being hungry! I guess I'm going to be hungry anyway.

I took the phospho-soda buffered saline mixture. Salty crap drink, essentially. Lemon-ginger flavoured sea water. Or sea glook. I nearly puked after swallowing it. I still feel nauseous, but talking to my sister Helen, I hear this is quite normal. I'm waiting for it to seriously hit me. I don't think it will be fun. :( I'm thirsty, though, so I might have some water.

I already miss food. Sort of. :T I'm covered in x's so when I go into theatre tomorrow they'll know where to stick the EMLA patches. I demand them. I'm not having the op without them.

It's the needles I'm worried about. The rest? Nothing I can do about it.

Gawd I hate needles. I was so happy when they came out with plastic IV's instead of metal. My skin freaks out otherwise!

The plastic ivs didn't hurt me. Then again, I was too full of painkillers to care.

Mmmm, painkillers...Personally I prefer codine. Most others give me the stomach crawlies.

Looks like you came out fine. Everything good?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm sore as hell but I'm much better. :)

I know the feeling. My tummy is still reeling from the S.flu.

How long are you going to be on the mend? Not long I hope. I'm sure you're already banging against the walls. ^_^
