5 Days Away

My surgery is in 5 days. I have to tell you, it is on my mind heavily, and I can't think of much else. For months now, I have Benny thinking that xyz will happen after surgery. Now that the time is getting closer, it is becoming more and more real.

I have never had surgery before, much less stayed in a hospital over night. I am a very nervous about both, and am not getting much sleep because of it. I wish I could wake up and it all be over with.

I know I made the right decision to have this surgery, but what if I am wrong? What if this is the wrong decision? I know I will look back on this blog and laugh.

I have survived 8 days on a liquid diet, and only cheated once. My wife has been very good about food. She hasn't been cooking much when I am home, and her and the boys eat in another room from me. Still, try not eating for 8 days. I used to wake up to eat breakfast. They say after surgery, that you don't get hungry. That is hard to imagine right now as my stomach growls.

I will post when the surgery is over. Until then, pray for me.
