I am staying up since I have to be at the hospital at 5am. I would never make it if I went to bed. Can't eat anything or drink anything, but I AM sipping a little water. They tell you not to drink anything because people drink coffee and sodas. A nurse told me if I just sipped a little water, it would be okay.
Went today and got xrays of both hips and lower back. Went to Home Depot and got a bulb for the light over the stove. Walmart to get Ears of corn and peanuts.
We had Pizza Hut Pizza tonight. Large pizza with hamburger, bacon, pepperoni and Mushrooms. I actually paid for it through PayPal. Never knew you could do that.
I am NOT looking forward to getting this Port put in, but..hoping they put it on the right side not the left.

Praying for you. I’m waiting to go back for my colonoscopy.

@Ghostlady — thank you, everything was routine and much less problematic than what you’re dealing with.

I'll be thinking of you this morning and hoping everything goes as smoothly as possible. I can understand why you'd rather stay awake than risk oversleeping for such an early hospital arrival.

I hope everything went smoothly as you should be done by now.
