Day before Surgery

So tomorrow is my surgery day.  I have to admit a little nervous.  so today i have been spending the day doing some last min things around the house.  I got a call yesterday telling me my surgery time was at 6:30am.  Well I called today early this morning just to make sure what i needed to do and ask a couple additional question.  Had to leave a message but the preop nurse called me back within 30min.

She advise me my that the doctor had reorganize his patient load and surgery time had been moved from 6:30 am now to 9:30am.  While i like the idea of an earlier sugery time not much i can do about the switch.  the big down side is i can't eat anything after midnight so it this is going to make for a really long day as far eating.

So I wanted sure how things will work so i asked the nurse was 9:30am my actually surgery time or my time to report.  the nurse informed me 9:30am is my check in time and my actual surgery time is 11:15am.

Something to keep in mind because keep in mine you can't eat after midnight .  so you will go about 12+ hours without eating.

The doctor had told me that procedure should take about 1-2 hours.  then you add in recovery time .

Jeez ...I am looking at after 2 or 3pm for my first meal of the day.

Fun fun fun.

Took some pic of my legs so you can see the before.
