Pre-op day...

...today was the day for my pre-op and I had to get up and out the house much earlier than I am accustom to as my appointment was at 9am and the bus and subway got me there in about 1 hour 15 minutes. So I got to my appointment and the pre-op department could not find my paperwork, so they send me to Dr. Swallows office to get a new one filled out by her assistant, she said that they lost it as it was sent to them, Dr. Swallow was in surgery so she could not sign and will do so later. I remember filling out all the forms back in March when I was last there. Needless to say that all took about an hour or more and I did not get to start until about 10:30. The first person I saw was the nurse, who interviewed me and filled out so much forms and took so much blood I thought I was going to pass out, then the ecg lady came in and did an ecg test, after that there was a doctor (apparently something new) that reviewed and went over all the forms from the nurse, he was very nice and we talked about our kids and everything else. I then went for an x-ray and the wait for that was almost another hour or so, to make a long story shorter I was out of there about 12:30pm which is early as now the anaesteglogist does not see me until the day of the surgery.

Started my day off with my regular breakfast:
Bowl of oats
Glass of orange juice

I was starving as I missed my mid-morning snack:
at about 1pm I had Tim Hortons Chili with a whole wheat bun
10oz (284ml)300 calories, 19g fat, 1320mg sodium, 4g sugar, 26g protein

I got home so tired and burnt out and took an hour nap then went out for Starbucks, lol

Mid-afternoon:
Starbucks Grande Soy Latte (210 calories,45g fat, 150mg sodium, 26g sugar, 10g protein, 6% iron)
Starbucks chocolate chunk cookie (360 calories, 17g fat, 170mg sodium, 31g sugar, 4g protein, 2g fibre, 15% iron)

Dinner:
A bowl of fruit
1 glass brandy and milk

So I am not sure if this is good or bad, but I balanced it off I think, I was not hungry for any dinner, I felt really full after the chilli and starbucks latte.

That's it for now folks,
much love, Lady D
