Pre-Op, Day 1

Eddie's instructions for the day are as follows:

Eat breakfast.
No more "food" until well after surgery.
Clear liquids only until Midnight tomorrow (broth, water, Crystal Light, but nothing red)
As soon as he gets home from work, he has to drink a bottle of Magnesium Citrate followed by 2 glasses of water.
NOTHING after midnight Thursday. 


Surgery Friday morning.

Since he won't be eating any BIG meals ever again, we went to Disneyland yesterday to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and ate dinner at the Blue Bayou restaurant.  We will be spending the night at my sisters house Thursday night since we have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am Friday. 

I'm getting nervous.  Eddie has been nervous for quite a while, but he is afraid if he doesn't do this then he won't be around for our kids when they are older. 

This evening he will be working on cleaning out system.  I may have to stop and get some really soft toilet paper for him to make it through the evening.
