Pre Op at Hospital today

Went this morning to do the preop.  It went fine...we were a little early (not too much traffic) so they got us in earlier.  Basically, went over consents and some paperwork, chest x-ray, bloodwork and an EKG.  All went fine.   Then we sat with a cardiac nurse...she went over everything...like no makeup , hair up in ponytail, clear fingernail polish, special soap to shower with and then she stuck this bright red bracelet on me.  I have to wear this till Wednesday!!!  Everyday!!   Annoying......

Then we went over the no driving, sternum care, lifting my arms....what I can and can't do.   We talked about A-Fib and meds.....and she answered questions about visitors, my kids coming to see me and how it works with Dan during the ICU.  I got all quesitons answered.

My surgery is scheduled for 7am,  We have to be there at 5:30 am.  That's pretty early when you also live 45 mins away. 

I walked out of the hospital wishing that today was the day....the waiting is really too much.  I'm ready to get it over with and start recovery.
