robbynnoel Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Wow...my surgery is tomorrow. I'm walking around in a daze today...numb almost. I returned from Dallas yesterday. That was a challenge. Party party party party...one after another. It wasn't a wedding it was a festival. lol I was pleased today to find out that my weight remained exactly the same as it was the day I left. Phew! I normally gain weight or retain water just from riding on a plane... I went to my doctor a the day before I left and confirmed I had lost a sufficient amount of weight (on his scale). Now I'm glad I started the pre op early. My doctor has me on a clear liquid diet today. So far I've had. 1. Sugar Free Popsicle 2. Good Earth Decaf Tea (1 bag, 3 cups) 3. Herb Ox Bullion Cubes (2) 4. Light Ocean Spray juice 6 oz 5. 3 tbsp Milk of Magnesia. (Blek blek blek blek) I was supposed to take the Mike of Magnesia at noon but I forgot. I took it a few minutes ago. I removed my nail polish from the wedding today. I purchased an adorable pagama outfit from Dress Barn that looks like something that can be worn in public. Black sleep pants with an elastic waist with a black sleeveless top with green and pink embroided flamingos (small). We're spending the night in my brother-in-law's home tonight. He's only a few minutes from the hospital. I was told no moisturizer, make-up...blah blah blah, no swallowing while brushing my teeth tomorrow am and to only take my blood pressure meds with a sip of water. Nothing else after midnight tonight. I am going to leave my purse and blackberry at home tonight but I'm thinking of bringing a book and a puzzle book. I took off my jewlery today so I don't forget to. I have to report to the hospital at 6 am. I'm breathing. In and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbynnoel Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I did't have the surgery today. I went into anaphylactic shock in the operating room. Aparantly I almost died. I'm still swollen, I look like Rocky Balboa. My doctor says it doesn't mean I can't have the surgery, I just need to go to a specialist first and find out what I may be allergic to. Until today, I had never been under general anaesthesia...there is no way anyone would have known this could have happened. I'm just glad to be safe. At first I thought it was a sign from god not to have the surgery but now that I've had some time to think, my head is clearer. I have a call into my regular doctor to ask advise and get the allergy testing under way. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
