It’s 5:28am and we are waiting in the surgical waiting room. Not sure what I’m feeling right now. It’s a mixture of excitement, frustration of lack of sleep and anxiety of surgery! We were told to be here at 5am and no one is here. Ugh!

So we sit and wait! Wait to be called back and start the process. It will begin with washing my body with the antibacterial wash clothes, then the IV. I’ll have to wait for Dr.Klien to come in and mark my body. I remember last time he used a sharpie and marked my body. He used the IV tube to measure each side to make sure everything was symmetrical. It will be interesting to see what these markings will be since they are cutting my stomach! I just hope that the anesthesiologist that comes in doesn’t mess up like the last time. This Dr came in and starting telling that they would be going through my belly button and I remember telling him, “Hum, I am having a double mastectomy”! He apologized and didn’t know what to say. He ended up telling me to take the pain meds cause I would be in pain! I remember thinking what an idiot! But at the end it was all fine! I woke up from surgery telling the nurse her eyebrows where on point. The pain blockers worked well. Unfortunately with this surgery I won’t get pain blockers but I will have a drip for the first 24 hrs. So for now I’ll see you all on the Deip side! Lol

I got this! I am blessed!
