Well, today I did my final pre-operative visit with my surgeon's office and then went over to the hospital and did the pre-operative testing visit there. Didn't really do much at all the whole day, but totally crashed out when we got home. The funny thing is, there wasn't much at all that was asked of me except to sit still while they drew blood and did an EKG and all that medical stuff; but, man, am I tired. Oh yeah, I did answer more questions than a steroidal baseball player in front of Congress...

And we did fill out about 40 million forms and papers...killing only 5 million trees in the process. Oh well...

This time next week, the whole world changes for me. Goodbye cheesecake......goodbye chocolate...farewell biscuits and gravy...waahhhhhhhhh!

Not really...I don't think I will miss them...they are the bad old friends that got me into all kinds of trouble.

I think I'll be happier with my new friends...

Maybe in a year I'll post some before and after pics. But I'll have to go shopping first.
