Have to be at the hospital at 2 so trying to not stress too much Can't have anything to eat or drink so of course this is when. I am the most thirsty. Did spend the last week eating as much as I could lol. Just ready to get this over with because the last week or so I have had a lot of pain. In my ear and neck or throat which has made it hard to sleep at night. Guess I will know ow more after surgery if this is going to require radiation or chemo. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers
