Happy Thanksgiving!

We were thinking turkey….. My mom and dad are food network fans and that is about all they watch when we are in San Jose at our hotel. So they had been talking about the turkey.  We had no plans. Our dear friend Pipa gave us a call and invited us to celebrate Thanksgiving with some friends of hers in Escazu.  What a great time we had and a wonderful dinner! Raymond and Jerry were very warm and kind people to invite us into their beautiful home!

Of course you know me, I have to stir up some kind of excitment! Everyone was settling in for dinner when my mom came to check on me and see how I was doing and noticed that my NG tube had completely come out of my nose. Yep, it could not wait to come out on Friday before the surgery it had to be today. It was late so my mom and dad decided to go back to the hotel and wait to call the doctor until the morning. Boy was I ever happy to have that out of my nose! I am a completely different person when it is not in my nose!! That night I slept for 10 hours straight! First time in months!! My parents were so happy for me. We all finally had a good nights sleep.

The next morning they called my doc and she said to come in and I would have to have a temporary one placed until the surgery the following day.  We went to ER and it did not go so well. I was so angry at everyone for putting another tube in my nose. Will they just leave my nose alone!!!!!! After three tries they finally got in but not without me kicking and screaming the entire time.

We went back to the hotel and I was miserable. I could not sleep and cried alot. I told you I hate the NG Tube!!! Fortunately for me, my parents were able to take the NG tube out at 6pm since I had to fast before my surgery! I was so happy to have it out again. I slept like a champ again that night and I needed to as tomorrow is the big day!
