Ups and downs
Jun 23, 2011
So Yesterday sucked! I ran around all day. I am taking a microbiology course this summer that is 16 weeks of information crammed into 4 weeks so that I have the rest of the summer to recoup. The class ends Tomorrow! That is definitely a good thing since my surgery is MONDAY! The bad thing is that it has not left me a lot of down time to prepare for Monday. I will have this weekend but my husband will be working all weekend and two little boys that need lots of attention. Its my birthday Saturday so I'm thinking of doing something with them that will at least wear them out and then maybe one of my awesome parents will help me out for a bit so I can at least pack! But back to yesterday...I had my micro class all morning and then rushed 30 minutes south to follow up with my Asthma specialist one more time before surgery and then drove home and picked up my husband and three year old and drove an hour north to take my son to a pediatric dermatologist for a growth on his head (thank god it is non cancerous and should go away over the next few years). I got home finally at 7:30 last night and was extremely tired and hungry (duh) and still had a lab final to study for. My husband and I got in a big fight over where the kids were going to be while Im in surgery which ended with him telling me that he would just stay home with them. Awesome....we had other options and now I feel completely uncared about. So Yesterday sucked.
Today is somewhat better. I got another day of Micro over with and tomorrow is my final and then I have the day to spend with my seven year old son. After Micro I went and finished my paper and then my husband called from work and didn't actually apologize but I know thats why he called and I also know that he is worried about so many things to do with this surgery. After I hung up with my husband I called the hospital because pre anesthesia still hasn't called me (even after leaving them two messages this week)! I was anxious to talk to them since I have never been under general anesthesia and I have severe asthma. The conversation was short but she took my whole medical history and medications and checked to make sure Im doing the liquid diet, etc. It felt so official. The original information I had said that a nurse would call the day before to let me know if my surgery time had changed but they told me today due to my surgery being on a Monday they will call me Friday (tomorrow)! I am so happy to know a couple of days in advance. If it doesn't change then its at 8:15 am and we are going to head up and stay overnight so that I can get some sleep the night before so if it is scheduled for later we won't do that. Just nice to know a few days in advance. I am getting so excited! I can't believe I really am going to do this! HAHA
