Crunch Time

I have officially one more business day before I go under the knife.
I haven't yet packed my overnight bag for the hospital... I don't know what to take.
The nurse said to prepare myself, but what do I need?
A toothbrush.  Check.
Me.  Check.

That's my list... hm... I will need to pack a few games and stuff for C while he waits for me.  Poor C.  He's gonna be so uncomfortable.  I'll be going in and out of sleep (or so I hear from other people's experiences) so I won't need anything to keep me company... I don't think..

So in preparation for coming back home after surgery,  I'm gonna head out this weekend and pick up a few items...

I hear I will need lots of pillows to keep my head propped up while I sleep... 
I will need to stock up on some soft foods (pudding, yogurt, soup, etc) as I will have a hard time swallowing regular foods for a few days.

I'm mostly worried about how I'll keep entertained during my recovery time.  I know I will be able to move around and stuff after 2~3 days but to be home alone all day for 2 weeks... kind of dreading that!  But I guess I'll catch up on lots of rest!

So, so far so good.  I feel mentally (somewhat) prepared.  I have lots of support from C and my family members.  I am thinking positive (or trying really really hard).  In 4 days time, I will be thyroidless...  Hopefully it won't be too much of a change in my life... I know a lot of the recovery is how I handle things mentally.  I feel like I've been preparing for this for quite some time without realizing it. 

4 days.
I can't wait for it to be over before it's even begun.
