Waist Again - Grand Rapids, MI

Wow my PS office called today and said they had a cancellation and how would like like to have my TT on March 28th instead of April 9th. That's moving it up 12 days which is wonderful. It's a good thing I worked on my pre-surgery list today. I rented a hospital bed for 1 month. I had to call when I got home and found my surgery date had been moved up to get the bed delivered on March 27th. Since it's a long single bed size I bought the fitted sheet at the store where I rented the bed from. I bought a shower chair & handicap rails for the toilet-have to get hubby to put that together. I bought all kinds of gauze pads and different kinds of tapes, ice packs, tylenol and tylenol PM. I bought all kinda of fruit juices, yogurt & stool softers to help with the constipation issues. Notified my family of my surgery (I planned to tell them when they were all here for Easter) and the fact that I won't be hosting Easter dinner (3 days AFTER surgery now). I'd much rather obsess about surgery for the next 9-10 days than the 3 weeks I thought I had to wait. The PS scheduler is getting me everything I'll need in the next 1-2 days so I'll have final instructions and hopefully my prescriptions so I can have them filled BEFORE my surgery. I've been wearing size 22 or 3X in most my clothes since my middle is so thick. I bought a beautiful skirt & sexy top is size 16 at my favorite consignment shop today. This is my goal with this surgery and healthy eatting.

I received my final instructions today. Since I had staph & mersa 2 months (Dec. 2012) after my BR they're taking extra precautions with me for this surgery. I'm starting bactroban cream in my nose, I'll have a antibiotic scrub to use around my middle Sun-Wed. I'll have a motion sickness patch ($50) to put on Wed. night plus they have orders to give me lots of fluids to help avoid the after surgery nausea. They explained all the drugs on an empty stomach are what makes a person nausea. I've never done the patch either so hope it helps. They will use a different antibiotic during surgery than normal so try and ward off my chances of staph & mersa. Since they don't know if I'm a Mersa carrier or I pick it up someplace I'm banned from the pool from now until probably 6 weeks after surgery. I haven't been for 2 days because of the slippery roads and I'm missing the exercises and my friends already....6 weeks will be a LONG time for me. When I told them I had arranged for a hospital bed they said they don't normally like hospital beds because they help you too much when you need to use those muscles. If I find I can do without it or don't like it, I can call the rental company and have it go back. I'll have my vicodin (for pain) & and valium (for muscle spasms) to take with me the day of surgery. I've cleaned my house, washed all the bedding & rugs and mopped the floors....now what do I do to keep myself occupied for another WEEK?
