46 YO - Working on a New Me! TT W/ Muscle Tightening & Lipo of Stomach and Flanks. Great Neck, NY

ALL went well. Not as bad as I thought it would be. I guess my meds are working. Feeling sleepy. Will update later.

The past few days have been quite busy for me. House is clean from top to bottom! Let see how long that will last with 3 men in charge of maintaining it… Lord please give me the strength to ignore the mess they’ll create.
My personal grooming is all done. Brazilian Bikini Wax – check, Eyebrows –check, Mani-Pedi -check, Hair wash & blow dry –check.
So, I decided I’ll come home after surgery. My husband tried to convince me that I need a wheelchair and called up a wheelchair rental to reserve one. At the time, all I could think about was how embarrassed I’m going to be if my neighbors see me. A few days later, I was telling a friend of mine about what going on and she said, “I have a wheelchair” next thing out my mouth was, “Can I borrow?” Turns out she own a walker, a shower chair and an unused portable toilet!! I was like, “I’ll take everything except the portable toilet.” I’ll be camping out in the Living-room where the recliner and big screen TV are located. Can you imagine me using a portable toilet with 3 men around?! I would never hear the end of it!!
Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!! Getting clothes together for what I’ll wear home from the hospital and what I’ll wear the following day for my 1st Post Op Visit. I don’t usually take medication because I don’t like the way it alters my body. Since I’ll be heavily medicate (trust me, this time I will gladly pop those pills) who knows if I’ll be able to think straight. Might as well take the time to plan all my outfits from today.
Still not feeling nervous. Looking forward to tomorrow. The only thing that I find a bit inconvenient is, my period. YES, she decided to pay an untimely visit! The nurse said not to worry about it, they’ll just stick a pad there, EEWWWW!!! Thinking about how I’ll make my male PS aware. “I’m so sorry but I think you should know…” How do I say it?! To me that’s more embarrassing than being seen in a wheelchair!
I have to get to the hospital at 7:30am, surgery is at 9am. Getting ready for bed now, it’s time to cuddle with my husband.

My surgery will be performed at North Shore Hospital. The day after, I have to report to my PS’s office for my Day 1 PO visit. I live in an Apartment building and my biggest concern is, will I be able to walk through the building to get to the car. From what I’ve read, I will be hunched over and possibly in pain. Not sure if I’ll be able to take all those steps. My husband told me he’ll cover the expenses so I should look into spending my first night at the hospital. I know he means well but I’m like, “Are you crazy? I want to be home!” He doesn’t think I’m making any sense. I reminded him that I’ll have to get up frequently to walk. I told him I don’t want a stranger pushing me to do it. I prefer being home with him and the kids because I’ll feel better getting annoyed at them rather than at a stranger. I have no idea how I’ll act while I’m on meds. All I know is, I want to feel comfortable about rolling my eyes and sassing back if need be. See…? My reasoning makes perfect sense!
