How did you guess? i am a nervous wreck, i hardly slept at all last nite. kept waking up and looking at the clock, i can not even count. My stomach is doing flip-flops, this time tomorrow i will not being having my coffee!

.. the plan is tomorrow morn. to get up and take my shower, wash my hair for i do not know when i will be next. i definately will let you all know how it went. I am glad you are thinking about me JUST ME. you all take care LEO 
My thoughts are with you! Yep the best way is to tell them to give you good sleep. Everything will be fine and if they put you on a clear liquid diet you should still be able to have coffee. LOL
Take care and keep us updated when you can.
O-
Goodluck!!! You can always tell them like I did
. I told 'em I haven't hardly slept so I wanna be OUT like a blackout. They laughed and said yes ma'am you will be out real good!!!!

Diagnosed with disc deterioration and a mild form of scoliosis(2008)

Hey Leocat,
I thought I better chime on in and say GOOD LUCK!!!
I will be sending out the prayer for a good surgery and successful recovery.
I know you you have been waiting a while like me to have some of your injuries addressed so I hope to hear from you as soon as your up to it OK.

Since May of 2004 I have had 2 female surgeries and 4 arm surgeries. The arm injury happened on Sept. 17 2004 and was a work Comp injury. After 3 1/2 years of comp I finally got better and was off all meds. This was very short lived as I was in an MVA on July 10, 2007 and recieved a neck injury. Good thing was it was not my fault. Workers comp closed their case in Aug. 2007 and because of the neck injury I still am unable to work. It was found I have bulging discs at C 3-6 with tears in those discs. At C 6-7 there is fissuring in the bulging disc. In Jan of 2008 I had a Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy at C 3-4 C 4-5. I was told before this surgery that I would need later fusion. I am still having awful pain and I am in the process of awaiting a 2 or 3 level ACDF. I had a discogram in May 2008 and that was the most painful test ever...Yikes! One Day at a Time and don't forget to BREATHE!
UPDATE:
two level ACDF C 4-5 and C 5-6 on September 3, 2008. This makes surgery # 8 and I really hope it might be the last!!
I wanted to wish you well with your sugery. Good luck with everything!
thanks everyone for their well wishes, i ran the vacum today real well. have got the laundry almost all caught up. , and plan on changing sheets on bed in morning before I leave for hospital, i figure coming home to some nice clean sheets always feels good. i am wore out, cannot do too much at one time, i am sure you all can relate to that. i AM completely out of pain meds , just taking extra strength tylenol for the last few days, can't wait to get some real ones! LOL
i will let ya'll know . take care LEO
You are in my thoughts & prayers. Keep a good outlook & everything will go swell. When you are able we would all like to hear from you
