Tomorrow!

I'm in Ann Arbor, hanging out in a big AirBnB bed with my partner. Surgery is tomorrow! It feels a little unreal still, honestly. I'm getting to the hospital at 7:30 AM, surgery at 9:30, and then staying in the hospital overnight tomorrow night. I've never had an overnight stay at a hospital before so I'm a little nervous about that! 

I don't have a lot to write about and should be getting ready for sleep soon, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I feel very ready at this point in time - I've been in the anticipatory stage for over a year now so have had lots of space to prepare! We did a big grocery shop and CVS trip today so I feel set up with everything that I should need after being discharged from the hospital. Tomorrow morning I'll be taking a shower with the antibacterial soap, shaving my face, and putting my comfy clothes on (which I will also wear home from the hospital). 

I'm super excited about my surgeon choice and feel a lot of trust in the process at this point. I don't think there's anyway I could feel legitimately prepared for healing since it's a different caliber than I've ever experienced before, but I feel like I have the tools and support to enter the process feeling healthy and solid. I'm stressing about the catheter! We'll see how that feels.

I think this is all for now - time to take some dick pics and try to wind down enough to fall asleep! Hard to believe I've come this far in the process. I'm so wildly grateful.
