Thanks guys for all the tips. On my way to walmart to get something to label with. I have had surgeries before and I wasn't nervous the first time I had this surgery almost exactly three years ago(8/18/04). But for some reason now my nerves are acting way up.

The hardest part is the eating and drinking. I have to be there at 11:30a on Monday for registration and prep they are not scheduled to start till 1:30p. I am not allowed to have anything to eat after midnight tonight and clear liquids till 8a Monday, which means none because I won't wake up till probably about 10a. The hospital is only literally around the block from my house so I could leave at 11:15a and still have plenty of time to get there.

I am just hoping everything goes as planned, which is to just go in and repair the disc like last time and not have a fusion. But I will try to keep everyone informed as soon as I am able.

Jennifer

Hey Alpha, I thought of this. Type out your pressure and any instructions on your computer. Tape that to your machine. No sense buying a labeler - unless you want one.

BIG HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you can't log on, tell a friend/family member to update us!!!!
