Surgery today.

Not really nervous or anything, just anxious I suppose. Having "diagnostic laparoscopy-possibly surgical laparoscopy" to see about all this pain in my lower belly. All I know is that last night I had to take 2 Tylenol 3's to get to sleep, between the pain and being all wound up. I want it to be done. Over. Finito. What I don't want is the "up the butt*" test. *courtesy of Weetabix and Esteban*

So in one hour, I'm supposed to check in to the hospital's outpatient surgical unit and have a GYN go digging around inside me and hopefully fix whatever is wrong and then send me home 4 hours later with some heavy pain pills and a note to not exert myself in any way, shape or form.

How is it that I put a ton of lotion on my legs and body yet my hands are all scaly/flaky like? I don't get it.
