Ate popcorn on FAST!!!
I have to have cardiac clearance for my surgery on Tuesday. Today was the only day they could do the 7 hour cardiac testing. It required no eating after midnight. When I got up this morning - started to get dressed. I got to thinking about my awful new boss (and I must be crazy to be leaving for the next eight weeks) and before I know it - I am digging into a bag of stale "crunch n munch". I dug out all of the kernals with peanuts attached (my favorite) and folded the bag back down and put it back on the dresser. Then it hit me. I WAS NOT SUPPOSED BY EATING OR DRINKING ANYTHING BEFORE THE PROCEDURE!!!!
I started screaming and all my family woke up. I called the "before office hours" emergency number to see if I blew it. The answering folks calmly replied "yes" you did. You will not be able to have the surgery becuase we cant provide the clearance. I was crazy mad at myself. I could not believe i had blown the surgery over a handful of popcorn. I decided to go to the cardiologist office anyway and beg. when I got there they let me do the procedure.
it all worked out but now i dont trust myself! I mean how crazy was it that I forgot that quickly that I was supposed to be fasting. What if I do that on my surgery morning? I am normally much sharper about these things.

Re: Ate popcorn on FAST!!!
I keep having to remind myself I have an operation tomorrow. I keep thinking about the big one in Aug. I'm afraid I'll do a similar thing in the morning. Maybe I should put all the food in someone else's house. I have sticky notes all over the place reminding me what I need to do, what time I have to do it, etc. All I can remember is what time I have to be at the Castle in Aug. To confuse me more at pre-op Tues. the admission person almost sent me to the tests for the wrong ssurgery. Yikes!!!
Repeat after me "FOCUS"

Re: Ate popcorn on FAST!!!
Sticky notes can be your friend ... I put notes on my bathroom mirror, on the pantry, on the fridge, all saying "NO!" Then it was easy to remember.
