Back down on earth and ready to get started.
posted on 7/22/10 8:33 pm
Well, after an exciting phone call this morning, I have come back to earth and am ready to really think about what is going on here.  I am going to have surgery in 14 days!  That's right 14 days!!!!  Holy crap do I have a lot to do!  I start nursing school at Fresno State on 8/23 and I need to get a CPR cert before surgery since I don't think I will be in any shape to do chest compression on anything after surgery.  I need to find calcium citrate and iron and get started on them. I have already been taking my multi chewable and B-12 so I need to add the rest of the regime in. Also, I want to find out about Biotin and whatever else I need to keep my already thinning hair.  I promised my son I would take him and his friends to a skatepark in Northern California before summer was over so I need to plan that trip too!!  I can't wait, right now, 14 days seems like an eternity but I am sure it will be here in the blink of an eye!!! I am so thankful that this all seems to be coming together. My mom has been incredibly supportive. My sister on the other hand doesn't seem to be to enthusiastic about it. My mom says it is because she is worried, but quite frankly, it kind of hurts my feelings. I don't know if she is worried or jealous or a little bit of both. She is a respiratory therapist and has seen a patient die from complications from the surgery. I understand the risk and feel like I have put myself in the most capable hands possible and have done so with the most knowledge I could get about what the risks are and quite frankly, there are other things that we do every day that are more dangerous than this surgery.  Anyways, I am going to try and not let her lack of enthusiasm spoil my joy.  I know for sure, not everyone is going to be supportive and that's ok.. As long as I am confident and positive that's all that matters!!
