The Day Before Surgery

In about 24 hours I should be done with surgery.  That actually sounds pretty nice when I think about it.  I'm sure it will seem like a long 24 hours, especially for everyone else, but it's only 24 hours.  I'm still feeling pretty good too, not that nervous at all.  I had a bit of a tough time sleeping last night, just had lots of things running through my head.  Nothing negative or anything like that, just thinking about the surgery, work, what I'm recovery will be like....all sorts of different things.  I'm sure tonight will be the same but multiplied by 10.

I did get a great present from my awesome fiance today that I think will make me very strong right before surgery.  I hear it's a superfood:

Also, expect some good pre and post-surgery pictures from my family and fiance.  I'll be getting an MRI tomorrow so they can put marks on my head to guide them in surgery.  I will then get to go to the hospital and walk in the regular entrance with said marks on my head.  So I'll be looking good before surgery and I think it goes without saying that I'll look good after.  If you're interested in seeing the aftermath of brain surgery then be sure to come back here in the next few days :)

All-in-all, I'm feeling pretty good but I'm definitely ready to get the show on the road.  The waiting game is the worst part but it's almost over!  I'll be in the ICU overnight immediately following surgery (which is supposed to start at 2pm) but will hopefully be transferred to general care area on Tuesday.

Talk to everyone soon!
