Tomorrow is the big day!

In less than 24 hours I will be in surgery... hopefully nearing the end of surgery and about to start recovery.  It is a crazy feeling!  I still have tons to do.  My sister-in-law will be here in 2 days to visit for 5 days and will be a huge help to my husband and kids.  I want to make sure the house is in the best possible shape before I am out of it and cannot help with anything.  Right now, 4 days of bedrest seems heavenly, but I know before it is all over with I will be going crazy being confined!  I am praying that I will be pleasantly surprised by the ease of recovery and not vice-versa.  I still have to get all my meds.  I don't prefer to be on anything and normally don't even take tylenol, but in this case I am going to use them all and try not to miss any dosages.  I have heard that it helps greatly with recovery to take the meds rather than trying to deal with the pain!  I am a little concerned about my youngest (he is 3).  He is so used to climbing all over me and laying in bed with me that he will have a bit of a shock.  If anything were to go wrong in this whole process, it would be a severe blow to my breasts caused by my little guy.  I have been noticing lately how often I get a little elbow or head in the breast (multiple times a day)!  It is painful now, but I can just imagine how painful it would be afterwards...

The biggest thing I am looking forward to is just getting back to normal life with a new and improved body.  I am hoping in a week or so after surgery that I can go to the beach with my family and relax there instead of being cooped up inside.  I don't have any real plans until 2 weeks post-op. so I am hoping by then things are getting to be a little back to normal!
