The countdown begins

24 Days till my surgery.

Tomorrow I have an appointment to sign all my forms and get the pre-op directions. I have already started to stock up on the carnation sugar-free mix for the liquid diet. I will also start to grind my meds into powder for after my surgery.

My friends took me out last night to help me celebrate the good news. We hit the horse races and casino here in Erie. I ate like a pig, and it felt good. I also drank a fishbowl margarita. That is a margarita in a gold fish bowl. It was awesome. I am looking forward to many fun nights like that in the next couple weeks.

I am so looking forward to many nights after the surgery (minus the alcohol), that will be just as fun.
