In about 36 hours, it's go-time for my hysterectomy.
I'm not concerned about the surgery. I do not want to have to stay overnight in the hospital, and I'm going to do whatever is necessary to get the fuck out of there as soon as possible. I am, however, not looking forward to all the pre-op hullabaloo. I think doctors enjoy humiliating people before surgeries.
I went to the hospital Monday to pre-reg, and have been stuck wearing a flippin' ankle bracelet for the past day to show that I had lab work done while I was there. I have a wrist band, too, but I was able to slip my hand out of that & I can put it back on when I go in on Thursday. I'm just glad my ankles don't swell, because the band is already on its last hole and if my ankle swelled, I'd have to cut it off. I wanted to take a long bath, too, since I won't be able to do so while I'm healing, but the ankle band kind of kiboshed that. I can take a shower, but I can't soak it for an hour or two.
