Updated - Surgery Post-op Day 1

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow is my surgery for the right supraorbital and bilateral occipital nerve stimulator implant. I don't know what time I have to be there yet - the hospital is supposed to be calling before 9pm tonight to let me know what time I have to be there. I got a little nervous today because the neurosurgeon's office called me to be sure we were still doing the surgery tomorrow - this is just because we've had so many times moving it around and waiting around for the new battery and then deciding not to wait.
If you all could just keep me in your thoughts/prayers for tomorrow, that would be great! I'm hoping that I'll be able to come home after the surgery tomorrow, but I won't know until it actually happens - there's always the possibility I would have to stay overnight if I don't react as well to the anesthesia. Not sure if I'll be able to post for a few days. Charlotte (cash, swimchica's mama) gave me her home phone number so that I can let her know (and subsequently let you all know) how the surgery went and what's going on. If I feel up to it, I'll try to post when I can!
Thanks and hugz,
Carrie

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Thanks everyone!! It means a lot!!
So first I got a call saying I had to be at the hospital at 10am. Then they called back....
They said the OR schedule got rearranged and I am now the neurosurgeon's 1st case, so guess what time I have to be at hospital??? 5:30am!!! AHHHHH!!!
That means from out here at my parents' house, we have to leave at 4:30am, and my poor mom has to get up really early to get ready! I think I'll probably get up at 4 or so maybe!
Oh well - over and done with, I guess!
Thanks again for all the vibes and good thoughts!!
I'm taking my shower tonight and straightening my hair before I have to say goodbye to a big chunk of it tomorrow! haha...
Hugz,
Carrie
