Hi Caroline, the wait is almost over and you will soon be on-your-way to recovery! You're going to an outstanding hospital with an incredible surgical team. (as you know:) The stats are way, way in your favor for a safe surgery. Also- I brought blue tooth headphones to the hospital, because it is harder to sleep at night with the patients' buzzers going off and always sleeping on your back. I listened to podcasts and Sirius radio via the app on my phone, while at the step-down unit. (In the ICU you will sleep a lot.) The pain relievers work incredibly well, and being exhausted will get less and less by the third day or so. You will be all right and on your way to a much longer life!
