I saw Breanna and her family in Preop this am. She has a large double curve we are fixing today. She introduced me to her Duke Raleigh Hospital bear she named "captain crook", for her crooked spine. Breanna also gave me a 5 hour energy drink so I could remain focused during surgery without being jittery w coffee!! no joke!
Nurse Kelly recommended not drinking this thing right now, and I agreed. Energy is not usually a problem after 1 hour of exercise each morning. I am revved up and good to go!
