random ramblings

less than 24 hrs away from my orthognathic surgery ..

I’m taking 2 days off (hopefully I’ll be able to use sick days instead of my vacation days) .. and then a week of recovery .. told my boss and team that I’d work from home.. 

Hendrik is coming tonight.. he’ll arrive in Indy at midnight *sigh* .. he’s very busy these days and can’t take an earlier flight… and he’ll stay here for 5 nights until Monday.  Kas & Shahreel have offered their home for my recovery week after Hendrik goes back to Austin..   I might take their kind offers.. let’s see if I’ll really need help to get around after 5 days

to prepare for the operation.. I can’t eat anything solid after midnight tonight… and nothing at all ( not even water ) after 8AM tomorrow…my surgery is scheduled at 12.45PM for 4 hours.. and I have to be in the hospital at least an hour before that…. I’ll be put to sleep and when I wake up I’ll already be in recovery room I’ll stay in the hospital overnight and the next morning if I am able to take medicine by mouth,  they will discharge me.. hopefully everything goes smoothly..

I’m much more nervous about the recovery part more than the surgery itself .. I’m most concerned about the swelling and the pain post surgery. The OS said for about 1-2 weeks I’ll be on liquid diet, and afterwards I can start adding soft foods.. I probably won’t be able to eat normally for 2 months ^_^ ..  I am hoping to lose a few good lbs hahahaha..

so dear friends.. pls pray for me yah !
