Yea, no headache, less than 2 days to surgery!

Dec 09, 2009

Finally, headache gone.  I was worried I'd have one until I could eat food again.  I was also VERY worried I was getting sick.  Slept almost 11 hours last night.  Thinking - I might just have lucked out and stayed healthy this week.  I know added stress to just the concern about surgery being the "right move" was that I wouldn't be able to have it Friday because I came down with a bad cold/flu etc.  I work around kids and you know how those little tikes can be.  Anyway, only about 36 more hours to go, this liquid protein diet with broth, jello thrown in the mix is surprisingly adequate.  although, it is adding up to less than 1000 calories/day.  I actually made Blueberry Buckle for my family and another person whose grandmother died tonight and it didn't phase me!  That's great.  Had to keep reminding myself not to lick the spoon or taste the batter to be sure it was just right.
slowly telling folks where I work, about 4 or 5 but there are many, many more I think I'll just let them guess or not.  Somehow, I need to feel in control of the process and I don't feel comfortable talking to everyone about it.
Family is supportive, although my teenage son probably hasn't really been paying much attention.
Can't wait now, I think I'm ready for Friday.
