Crap fest

What a fun day. I get to only eat/drink/gum liquids. This includes Jello, Juice and broth. I also have to drink a laxative that will clean me out prior to surgery. I took it an hour ago. So far no action. Mom and Dad are on their way to Logan to visit Aunt Dee Dee. They will come here after, probably around 7. I told them to do that because I knew I would be dealing with the effects of this laxative all day and I knew that would not be quality time for them. I also had to shave my who ha. If I didn't they would have. Talk about gross and weird. Girls, I had to go in this morning to register and to do some lab tests. They asked me if I had a living Will. I also had to fill out an anastesia consent form that lists as the risks possible paralysis or death. Wow, I really wish I didn't have to butcher myself here and take these risks, but I have no choice. I have to do it. Please pray for me. I know you will. I keep remembering "Legs will be ok" everytime my mind messes with me and i get scared.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you want to call the Hospital to check on me after surgery the phone number is 801-268-7719 . They will not give out any information unless you have the secret pass code of 0314. Give them that number and then they can release the details to you. I will post again today after 3:00 to let you all know what time I am scheduled for surgery. They want me to call between 3-6:00 to find out. I will post it so you all know. I sure love you guys.

I am going in at 9:00 a.m., the surgery will start before 10:00. I am not sure how long it will last. Love you all so much. Pray for me please, I know you will. Thank you for your prayers and support. Pray for my family too. They will probably struggle with this too.
