7 hours away

So this will be my last post for a few days.  Frank says he will bring my laptop to the hospital if I want so we will see how that goes.  I should probably be sleeping since I have to be there so early but I feel like I need to stay up and drink another glass of water.  Amazing how thirsty you become when told you can’t have anything after midnight..nothing..nada!  Not even a tic tac.  Just the thought makes my mouth dry :-).

I do need to vent for a second…went to a sports store yesterday and a young boy behind the counter had on like 10 of those stupid rubber bracelets.  Every cause you could think of including a pink one for breast cancer awareness and a “save the boobies” one.  So, with all of the different causes on his young wrist, do I feel that he is a true supporter of these causes or are the bracelets cool?  Especially the save the boobies one..which I hope I do not offend anyone, but I find that one annoying and almost offensive.  I say F— the boobies save a life.  The boobies can be replaced.

Maybe I am a little cranky…still pretty calm though!  7 hours away…

5 am

I am to arrive at Cooper Hospital by 5am Monday..boy that is early!  I am pleasantly surprised so far at the entire process.  Today I received a call from anesthesia to run through some history as well as the do’s and don’t before surgery.  Very friendly woman who showed sincere concern.  Later I spoke with scheduling who was also very friendly and organized.  I have to say that this has been the norm with everyone I have dealt with from both the hospital and insurance company.  I hope it stays that way!

I need to do some work in the veggie garden.  Need to stake some things up, do some weeding. We harvested the most awesome tomato today.  It is the biggest one we have ever grown! Can’t wait to slice into it!

 

 

So the clock keep spinning forward.  Tomorrow after the girls karate belt graduation, I have a hair appointment.  Need to look my best before I can accept looking my worst :-).

I am grateful that the wait is almost over!

3 days…and a thank you

Tomorrow is 3 days until surgery.. now we are close!  Three days…there are still a few areas to be cleaned, a little shopping to do and both girls will be moving up a karate belt on Saturday.  Other than that just some quiet time with my family.

Thank you to all of you who have sent me positive thoughts!  Whether it is friends who have called or come by, e-mailed or texted or the new friends I have found through this blog!  I never expected the support I would receive from people when I started this..to all Thank you!
