Good morning, world of FatSecret!
It's Sunday morning, and the day before the BIG day.
This means that this afternoon/early evening I will be going to the hospital to get re-admitted so I can be ready for surgery in the morning.
I am told I will be woken up at 6AM, and be ready to meet the surgeons and get going at 7AM. I'm first thing and top priority for the day.
There will be three surgeons working on me, and they're expecting it to be a five hour joy ride. :)
Scared? Actually - and surprisingly - not. I have slept better these last few days than I have in months. I think I am ready.
The only thing I don't like - and that Wife don't like - is that there won't be accommodations for Wife to be with me tonight, and send me off in the morning. I wish she could be there with me.
However, it's a two hour public transport ride to go there and they don't go early enough to make it in before I am gone, there is no way for her to stay the night - sadly, the hospital didn't offer - and we can't really afford a hotel, which is EXPENSIVE here in Denmark, so she'll have to come in after they start cutting, and just go wait and hang out.
I have told her to not rush to go, but that I'd appreciate that she's there when I'm out - which is not until the afternoon - but of course she wants to be there. I'd be there for her too. She may be able to be there at 6:30, but we're not sure if they'd have wheeled me off already at that time. We'll see.
If I'm up early I'll log on to Skype on my tablet, and she'll do the same and we can communicate a little. I'd like to see her before I go in.
So, today I'm packing my stuff, resting, having a little extra good food (but still with relatively sane choices), and just enjoying being home with the girls. I'm gonna miss them a lot the next few days, even if they're coming to visit. I'm not used to be away like this, and I don't like it. We're a tight-knit little family and I like that a lot.
If I wake up early - and I very well might - tomorrow morning, I might do a journal entry. If not - I'll let you guys know how things went when it's all done.
Today I am thankful for:
- Feeling ready.
- Wife - I love her!
- Getting this done and over with.
Life is good!
