You ever notice that the night before surgery sleep is nowhere to be found?

Between the snoring in the room and noise in the city coupled with my mind racing, I should have just stayed up all night. So here we are, cover me I'm going in!

    Greg, because of my crazy sleep schedule, it looks like I’ll be the first here to wish you everything good in the world and in your surgery.

    I never sleep a wink the night before any kind of procedure or even tests so totally get what last night must have been like for you. Hope today goes well.

    It's difficult to rest, much less sleep, the night before surgery. Besides the anxiety, you're also stressed over having to get up so early and be on the road in the dark. We are all praying for you.

    On the bonus side, after not sleeping, getting up early, and having to deal with the events of today, we had a good nap when we did get home. As the saying goes, "there's no place like home", and a good nap.

    You did a pretty good amount of snoring yourself there sweetie cakes. It was snoring in stereo.

    I must be the only person who sleeps like she's never slept before just before I have surgery. It's probably because I don't sleep well when I first get surgery scheduled. I stay amped up all the time. I try to be sure I have done everything I must do to get ahead and be able to take a few days to recuperate. I don't think I got more than 18 hours of sleep in the week before my surgery back in February. By the time the night before surgery came, I was dead to the world.
    I have always been the person who can't sleep if the people around me are awake. So if my husband was up until 3 a.m., I would have to be up until at least 3:15 a.m. Sometimes I just crash. I guess before my last surgery, I knew I would be "asleep" for awhile so I didn't worry about it. Then when I got to my room around 4 that afternoon, I didn't sleep anymore until at least 2 a.m. the following morning.
