The previous post was me I've been reading the fourm for about a year signed up several months ago and this was my first attempt at a post.
I thought I was logged in but I guess I did something wrong.

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.

Good luck, Jennifer, and see if you can have someone - friend or relative along to help you with the cpap.

Jennifer, I am praying that you will have a wonderful peace as you await surgery, and that God will grant wisdom and guidence to the surgeons and the rest of the team that every perfect decion and move will be made during the surgery.

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!!!!
