Taz I am so glad someone who has given so much support to other people can find the support needed right now as well. You really are a very giving person girl! I know you and so many here were very sweet to me back in Aug\Sept when I had so much going on with my EA.
Thanks for letting us know your "game plan." Ive been thinking about you a lot lately. Im glad you don't have much time to wait...and sounds like lots to do during that time anyway! Maybe you can manage to get a few meals put up in the freezer too. I wish we were closer so I could bring some to you.
You might look into an abdominal binder for after surgery. (of course without a full abdominal incision that might be unnessary) I just know how much it helped after all of my surgeries. It kinda adds gentle pressure and helps you not feel like everything is going to fall out.
This does seem like the best decision for where you are at. Keep checking back here in the days leading up to the surgery so we can talk.
