Yes, I think three days. Less than that, actually.
I'm still in a very different spot than I was three days before our first transplant date. I am either very emotionally ready, or I'm in denial that it'll happen? Either way, I haven't been focusing on the surgery very much. I realized today that I need to be chugging way more water than I have been. So I'll be wearing pants/skirts with elastic waistbands the next couple days. No one wants to deal with buttons/zippers when you're about to pee your pants.
Started getting caught up on laundry today, but now my couch is covered in clean, unfolded clothes. We have no food in the fridge, so I'll have to go shopping tomorrow (because going Wednesday when I'm on a clear liquid diet would be torture).
We just listed our house, and have three showings scheduled already, which is awesome. I'm glad we decided to move out and sell it empty, because there'd be no way I could keep my house show-ready right now!
I'll be packing my hospital bag tomorrow and Wednesday. I head tomorrow morning to the hospital for labs and meet with the surgeon. I think I'll find some of my old CDs I made for college road trips to pass the time in the car...
I compared this preparation to preparing for your second kid - even though I haven't actually gone through surgery before, I feel like I'm doing it for the second time and much less uptight about everything.
We'll see how I'm feeling Wednesday night!
