Nerves, or Flesh Eating Bacteria?

Today was my pre-op visit. I had to pee in a cup, and give some blood. You know, answer some questions. Sign my name a few times. It went pretty quickly- which was great because I didn't get stuck in any traffic on the way home.

I am feeling really icky today. I feel extremely bloated and sore. Left over from last week's procedure? Maybe. Ate some bad chicken salad yesterday? Bladder problems back with a vengeance? Not sure. I am just praying that I'll wake up tomorrow and feel much better. I have a bad tendency to assume the worst and get all worked up about things, so terrible conditions have been floating around in my head all day. Crazy infections, organs that are about to explode, near death and don't know how bad it is until it's too late... slightly hypochondriac. Slightly.

I am getting really nervous. I know it's going to be really easy and Dr. Levin does these procedures all the time. I know that the hospital staff is highly trained for emergencies. But, here I am nervous all the same. I am feeling emotional and tired, and of course my tummy is all messed up.

I'm going to follow the great advice I've received, and just pray about it. I know that's truly the only thing that's going to help.

And, try to stop thinking that my guts are about to rupture.


On a side note... the carpet is out of the closet, and the disgusting mildew smell is gone! Now for tiles... hubby says he "may want to do it himself" today, after yesterday saying that "he didn't want to mess with it." I think we should call in someone who will get it done. And fast. My clothes don't fit so well in the guest room closet.
