Went in to do my pre-op work. Was told "Oh, you should have been on clear liquids since after breakfast this morning! Didn't your doctor tell you that?" No. They didn't. I skipped breakfast because I was so stressed and was looking forward to a lunch out -- and a nice dinner out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brian1789 this evening. (He was a real doll, BTW, punting work and going and holding my hand in the doctor's office.)
What was worse was when the nurse-practitioner listened to my lungs and told me that they were closed up (I have asthma). "If you come in like that tomorrow, they won't do the surgery." Aaarrrrggghhhh! So I am under instructions to use my Pulmo-Aide four times today and once tomorrow before I show up. I hate doing that because it makes me as jittery as Don Knotts. I have trouble with tremor. But the waiting is worse than anything, so I'll follow instructions. Just pray that they are able to go ahead with the surgery so I don't have to go through all this again in a couple of months.
On the good side, I was told that my surgery time had been moved to later in the morning, which means I can see the kids off to school before going in. That makes me feel better. But I still want a cheeseburger.
