T-1

Tomorrow is my surgery. It took us about an hour this morning to get to the hospital for the pre-op appointment because the snow was bad and the traffic was bad. I had started drinking the water for the u/s and they told me that they needed a urine sample, so I had to start over on filling my bladder. I got to the u/s appointment and I thought my bladder would burst. The u/s tech and the fellow that was training both commented about how full it was. Thankful they did a quick transabdominal u/s and let me use the restroom before doing the much more extensive transvaginal u/s. They saw some possible endometriomas and Dr. Hil.gers mentioned that he thought there was a very good chance that I have endometriosis (which is what I expected since many people including my mom suggested it and my mom had it).

I've done the enema. It wasn't too bad, but the problem was I had to go to the bathroom right before it so I was worried that I didn't get everything, but I think it's ok. I took my shower and I'm about to get D to help me with the antimicrobial skin prep wipedown. D is supposed to be calling Sew so she can keep everyone updated. I've got to be at the hospital at 7 and surgery is starting at 8:30. We're leaving for the hospital early because of the weather, so it's time for bed. Thanks for all of your prayers.
