Upcoming surgery

My next surgery is just around the corner. I am so ready for this! It's scheduled for Friday, October 29. Just found out today that I'm tentatively scheduled for 4:45PM. Are they kidding me? If they think I'm going to go an entire day without eating, they are sadly mistaken! I left a message for the nurse to request a morning start time.


I'm going to have the excess tissue from my neck removed and probably some of the thigh flap. I'm calling it a face-lift! I think they are also going to clean up the scar on my thigh -- the top part is bulging a bit so apparently a little lipo will take care of that. The whole thing is scheduled to take about 2 hours, then I'll spend a little time in recovery before they kick me out the door. Not sure how long I'll be down & out... hopefully, just a day or two.


Since my last post, my recovery has gone remarkably well. I have lots more energy and most of my tastebuds have come back to life. In fact, I even started working out with a trainer. That's probably been the most helpful in many aspects. Now, if I can just keep from getting sick before next Friday... croup is making its way around my house.

Will post an update when the anesthesia wears off!
