Good luck! Won't be long now! I'll be watching for updates for sure
Too bad it was a waste of class....but it just helps those behind you that you HAVE to do your own advocacy and research.Had the class after blood draw this morning. What a waste of time. Same old story single ADEK tablets, Calcium but no magnesium with it. They want us to eat 3 meals a day and no snacks. The kicker? No protein shakes! They don't want us "drinking our calories. Post operative days 2-3 use sugar free jello and broth as meals instead of snacking throughout the day, absolutely no grazing!
I didn't realize your date was so close- yay! Almost there!
No, no. My surgery is on Friday not tomorrow. Just more hoops tomorrow then the big day.HURRAY! This time tomorrow you'll be feeling not so wonderful, but hopefully you won't remember any of it .
Oh duh. I was thinking today was Thursday.
More classes and consultation tomorrow.
I asked her if any patients were showing up later with vitamin deficiencies from taking their recommended ADEK tablets. I also asked why they were not recommending magnesium with the calcium supplementation. Seems to me there was a recent article about preventing kidney stones by upping the magnesium with your calcium supplementation. (I never mentioned any of this latter stuff) I just said okay when she said a very curt one-word reply, NO!
Just an FYI- Xanax was on the list of things I was not allowed to take the week leading up to surgery, I believe they said it could potentially interact with anesthesia. That sucked since that week was when I needed it most!So sayeth the great and powerful Oz, eh? Oy!
Hopefully you got some Xanax for tomorrow night when you replay all these classes in your mind! I'm all for the happy pills surgery week! And a big ugh for SLC traffic! I feel your pain.
