the rule that you can’t eat or drink anything 6 hours before surgery isn’t turning out to be do tough. my stomach is so jumpy the thought of eating something makes me want to vomit. i don’t know why i am so nervous.

i have to go off to the big bad grocery store to purchase mushy consumables for my ailing mouth. of course the only thing i can think of is pudding, instant potatoes, yogurt, soup and ice cream. how long does it take to recover from this nonsense?
