Waiting

Nov 27, 2010

I am so excited, but have found myself to be super-emotional and I'm wondering if this is normal.  I just all of a sudden start crying without any rhyme or reason.  My surgery is 4 days away, and I am wondering if I have done enough to prepare.  My husband is being super supportive.  He built a "cage" type thing to put in front of my recliner to keep the dogs from jumping on me after surgery.  That's what he did on Thanksgiving!  He and my son passed on their traditional Thanksgiving for me and I vow to make it up to both of them somehow.  We are going to Wal-mart to pick up some stuff to have on hand after surgery.  I'm reading Garth Davis' book "The Expert's Guide to Weight Loss Surgery", and it has a helpful list of things to pick up.   I don't want to be off work for more than two weeks, so my doctor telling me last week that he reserves the right to open me up if necessary scares me ... a lot!  Of course, I don't want him to take any chances, but I hate the idea of me being away from the office for longer than two weeks.  It's not a very good time of year for me to be off, but I realize that my health comes first.  I'm ready for my "re-birth" on Tuesday and I can't wait to start the rest of my life as a person who can do the simplest of things that most folks take for granted.  I just want to live life again!
