Well I just wanted to say thanks to all the users on this forum. I really have learned alot and would like to make my contributions to others as well. I am off to my pre-op appt tomm the 20th and my surgery on the 21st! I am still very nervous but after all the info here and pics (thanks KarlClayLA your pics were helpful) I am at least better prepared! I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach but after seeing everyone else "on the other side" I am very hopeful. I have my mother here with me (she's even a nurse) but my husband is in Iraq

I will check back in after pre-op and then when I am coherant. Thanks again for all the good advice! Wish me luck

Thanks guys! Yesterday was painful, my pre-op appt took 3 hrs, then I found out this splint thing would stay in after the surgery and got told not to eat after midnight even though my appt to come back wasn't until 945am. I spent all moning at the hospital I finally got back to work and was swamped. By the time I got everything finished it was 6pm before I could go home. I did get my dinner, just swapped the steak for the Olive Garden, got a taste for it at the last minute. I ate myslef into a food coma

I had to get it all in so I wasn't starving the next morning. I am used to eating breakfast around 6 am! I did get some sleep but not the greatest. Gotta run fo now, thanks again and talk to ya'll when I'm home!!
