Another day before surgery

I had to have a blood transfusion yesterday.  My hemoglobins (sp?) are pretty low, and they have to take blood from me every day, and I can't replenish by just laying around all the time, so I got 2 pints of blood.  It was all very surreal watching them getting it ready, double checking everything.  I had to take Tylenol and Benadryl before, in case I got some reaction, so I got super sleepy.  I slept through almost the whole thing, really.  I got really warm at one point, then at the end I got really cold.  I was glad when it was over because it was kind of creepy.

So surgery tomorrow.  They'll be taking my uvula and covering up the hole that's left in the back of my throat.  I won't every snore again.  And I hear that I won't be able to make pig noises.  Oh well.  I'll have to find something else to amuse myself.  I just hope and pray that this surgery works this time.  My emotions are wearing very thin at being away from home this long.  I don't like being away from my family and having my kids worry about me.  If this surgery doesn't work, there is one more thing they can try where they would take a skin graft from my wrist and covering the hole.  That is a lot more detailed, and a lot more time in the hospital.  I want this surgery to work.  I've already missed too many Easters because I've been in the hospital.  I'm so tired of this right now.  I just want to go home. 

God is love.
