Leaving to the hospital

It's 4:30am in Colorado and it's time to go to the hospital. I'm not really nervous. I'm still excited. It's been a long road. I'll try to get my wife to tape me in the recovery room. I do wonder what the appliance will feel like. Will it feel like a lump in my throat? Will I feel it a all? I'm sure I'll notice it when I start eating ice chips. I think the hardest part will be swallowing water. I like the to guzzle ice water. Time.
