5 days until my surgery...

So today is sunday the 27th of july and in 5 days time i will be having lower jaw surgery to correct my overbite-i will also be having a genioplasty to correct my jimmy hill chin that bringing my jaw forward will give me!!!
I am having my lower jaw moved forward by 6mm and brought up by 3mm.
I am as nervous as hell-scared,relieved,worried all at the same time-i had my detailed pre assessment the other day where i was told what would happen to me during the surgery and what kind of state i will be in..
I will have 2 little tubes either side of my neck to drain excess fluid,i will have a tube up my nose,a drip in my arm and i will also have a catheter-every thing but the drip will be inserted when im out of it and will probably remain for 24 hours...
My family(three kids and a good husband) will be waiting at home for me to come back which i was told will be a 2 day stay..
Tommorrow i get my surgical hooks put on... hope they are not as bad as people have told me....
