The countdown has started.

In preparation I’m forcing myself to deal with eating very little and drinking a lot of water. Along with taking a laxative.

All this is because tomorrow I have to deal with a liquid diet. Because Wednesday is my surgery.

I’m super excited and nervous. Most of my nervousness comes from this being my first surgery where I’ll be put to sleep.

I hope I finish knitting my scarf in time. Originally this small project was just for fun. But now I want to use it similar to a weighted blanket, without too much weight. Along with using as a buffer for an ice pack.

Plus, I’m so glad my physical therapist taught me the log roll technique to get in and out of bed. But I’m going to sleep on the couch the first 2 weeks. I want to limit unnecessary movements. Afterwards I’ll slowly move back to sleeping in bed, but if I’m able to handle it.
