It's 9:15 pm the night before my surgery. I'm gonna do a little more reading before I actually go to bed, but otherwise it's just about GO-TIME!
I want to thank everyone for the phone calls, e-mails, and text messages wishing me good luck (even you Jordon...you bastard!). I'll be getting up at 5:00 am tomorrow morning, which is actually the easy part. I'm not allowed to eat or drink anything before the surgery tomorrow, which will be the real struggle! I have to be there at 5:45 am, and my surgery will start around 7:00 am. I hope Dr. Muller has his morning coffee and that he brings his A-game!
Also, I'll be documenting a few things along the way. First, I decided that I won't shave or get a haircut for my entire rehab. Here is what I look like tonight (Day 0):
The hair is pretty much already longer than it ever has been, so this will get interesting. I am allowed to shave my neard, though (that's neck-beard for the uneducated).
Secondly, I'll be tracking my weight as I expect to lose approximately 20 hard-earned pounds (mostly on my legs). I'm not going to weigh tonight because I just feasted on some scallops, buffalo, and chicken. The first official weigh-in will be tomorrow morning when I wake up.
Since I will be home for the next 10 days, be sure to check back often as I will likely get VERY bored. Boredom = Great blog posting.
