Tomorrow is my surgery. I'm super excited.

I took the magnesium citrate this afternoon. It worked within 20 minutes. I've been pretty cleaned out already on this whole liquid diet thing. It's nearly 6pm and we're already "running clean" as it were. I'm trying to keep myself busy until around 8pm when I can do my shower thingy and go to bed. We went to bed around 1am last night and Ben got me up at 8am so I would be able to sleep tonight. I'm pretty tired right now. It probably doesn't help that I have had really low calories today. I'm trying to keep myself hydrated but it's hard. The nurse Vicki tried to call me but Ben was playing Rock Band so loud I didn't hear my phone ring.

I can't believe it's happening. I can't believe it's tomorrow; I actually have to be there in less than 12 hours. When I began this journey, I imagined that I wouldn't have a date until August or October but May 27th?! Wow... I actually wanted a May surgery date though. I wanted to have this done before June and it looks like I'm getting my wish. I graduated from high school on May 27, 2001 and now eight years later I'm having a rebirth of sorts. I moved down to Mankato, got married, graduated college, bought a house.

Big steps, folks! Whew! I'll update as soon as I can! Professor can vouch for me.
