My primary care doctor has okayed me taking the dose of thyroid medicine that I'd normally take at 5 a.m. on Friday at 11 p.m. on Thursday. That will mean taking my bedtime meds at 9 p.m. The reason to take the thyroid medicine then is that it doesn't absorb well unless I take it with quite a lot of water, and I'm not supposed to eat or drink anything after midnight.

When I got my gall bladder out, they were okay with me taking medications after the midnight cut off as long as they were necessary and were with a minimal amount of water, so I think I can take Wellbutrin in the morning. I suppose I'll find that out tomorrow. The omeprozale is supposed to be taken half an hour before I first eat, so I think not taking that Friday morning won't be a big deal. Everything else is either taken at bedtime or a vitamin that I think can be safely skipped for a day or even three.

I am making a list of people for Scott to email after my surgery is over on Friday. I don't know how soon I'll be back to DW/LJ, and I'm not sure he'd be willing to post an update here. (I may or may not ask. He's going to have a lot on his plate.) At any rate, if you want to be on Scott's list to email, PM me with your address before 9 p.m. Eastern on Thursday. Scott's only going to call family members. We've got a long enough list of them that I don't want to ask him to call anyone else.
