Day before surgery



Today was my last day before my pectus excavatum surgery. I wanted to take advantage of the lovely Encinitas weather so I went to Moonlight beach with my mom, dad, and grandma and had some fun in the 65 degree water. :)
I also made sure to eat a lot today, because the doctor said I won't feel like eating while I'm in the hospital. Over the past few days I've had a lot of time to think about the surgery, and I'm quite anxious. There are certain times in the day when I get really nervous and excited, so I have to take some deep breaths to calm myself down. This is going to be a huge change in my lifestyle, so I've made sure to take plenty of time to mentally prepare for my surgery. The surgery is tomorrow morning at 10:30, but we'll get to the hospital two hours early to get ready for everything. We'll make sure to update everyone regarding my surgery and recovery tomorrow and throughout the week.Thank you everyone for keeping me in your thought and prayers-- I really appriciate it! :)
