So, this morning I preregistered and paid my deductable for the hospital. I have talked to the surgical nurse and have my pre surgery instructions. I continue to field and answer a lot of questions from folks who are interested in my welbeing. I keep trying to cross things off my to do lists — but now that’s mainly work and home stuff to be done before my surgery. I have some anxiety, but not a lot. I’m probably as prepared as I can be at this point (without being overprepared — I don’t have my first month’s vitamins ordered, for example). I’ve talked to enough people who have undergone this (and other) proceedures, some of whom had a rough time, that I feel like I have a sense of what’s coming. Though I’m sure it’s like having children — you only really understand after you have them. Ten days and counting.
I’m not sure how much chance I’ll have to blog between now and the surgery. But I expect to have some time afterwards …
