Last minutes snags rained down on me, but I was determined to be positive. Grandma's car broke down eliminating our plan b to pick up Isaac. Boo came down with a rash and was waiting to hear whether she was contagious possibly eliminating Riley's plans. It turned out Boo was ok. Just as I breathed a sigh of relief Riley peed on the floor in front of potty and Isaac annoyed his friend right out the door. Sigh, not the restful night I hoped for.
I super hydrated all night to prevent the cottonmouth I woke up with last time. I got up before the alarm thank you time change. Riley was thrilled to be up before the sun. She was stunned that Mommy wasn't sending her back to bed. She was totally trilled that today was her slumber party with Boo. After a hiccup getting my car started we were underway.
My long goodbye made Riley's brow furrow, but she's a tough cookie. Isaac bounded up to my dad's promising to be extra helpful while I was gone. Go team. We got to the hospital just before 7:30am. After paper work we went up to Pre-Op waiting. This was the first time I'd been in there without Riley. When I saw all the people waiting I was overwhelmed. Luckily, the nurse I had the last two times was my nurse again. It was comforting, even if this is not the place I wanted to be a regular.
As usual I was last in line. They didn't come to get me until 11:00am. So many hours of waiting with an empty stomach. I remember "ok now's the the time for hugs and kisses" and then nothing.
When I woke up I was in a room and Mike was by my side. I could hear everyone in the room, but my eyes were having a hard time focusing. Mike read something to me I haven't clue what. I begged him not to go. After that my mom came by and I called Riley to say good night. It's all blur after that.
