Aw don't worry too much. It's a pretty routine procedure and you'll be feeling super duper in no time.

Good luck! You're going in in about 7 minutes according to my clock...

Also...

Weight loss

Is that a bad thing?

[majorboredom]

no, weight loss isn't a bad thing, BUT not being able to eat solid foods is. i just got home. i feel okay except for a sore throat and a little nausea. meh.

[evaporated]

Wow! Cool! You're already back online! Hope your throat is feeling better!!! :)

[majorboredom]

it's not. i just took a perkaset though, so hopefully i'll feel better soon.

It's 10:30 A.M., so I'm sure you're already out...I hope you have a speedy and as-painless-as-possible recovery. Just remember, lots of people have gone through this. You'll do fine.
