I'm having surgery Thursday, please wish me luck

You will be in my thoughts and prayers!
I had a laparoscopic surgery a few years ago for Endo. The worst part was the gas pain. While in the recovery area the nurses kept tell me to pass gas but I couldn't it just wouldn't ... umm... come out.. (Sorry TMI)
But the person next to me had no problem letting it rip and I was jealous!
I'll be thinking of you!!

Thank you all so much. I debated announcing this because of the nature of the surgery but your support means so much to me. I really do appreciate all the prayers, good thoughts and well wishes.

Richard - I've heard that saying.

Ally cat's mom and Pitc9 - I had a lap back in Jan and know that gas pain all too well. I didn't have the kind to let 'rip', lol, but I did have the pain in my side and shoulder. It hurt to breath deep, cough or laugh. Laughing would bring me to tears in seconds. I think I may be dreading that part the most. My dr. explained that the gas is gone quickly but the bruising from it pushing your diaphram is what causes the pain.

I will have to try the peppermint tea, thanks.

Thank again so much. Today I'm keeping busy with getting my house cleaned and in order. Yesterday I got my Dad squared away and I have someone who is going to be taking good care of him for me.

I am saying a prayer for you too, that all will go well and you will soon be a new person and feeling great!

I would stock up on extra pillows though.

My best wishes also for a successful surgery and quick, painless-as-possible recovery, and that it solves the problems it's supposed to solve. You may have to rent a cage to put under the bed covers to keep Rumor off your tum for a while. No matter what you do, a cat will find a way around it, and it sometimes causes you worse problems than if you'd let them have their way - but you already know that.
