This is not all roses and rainbows folks. I think in some earlier posts it may have seemed like I'm just having a good time getting ready for this surgery.
Well, that ain't the truth. In the short time since I found out when my surgery date would be we've had a lot happen. I've also had to get a lot of things done to prepare for tomorrow.
The biggest has been the god damned FMLA and Short Term Disability paper work. Talk about a mass of confusion that you're handed by HR. I hope I have it filled out right. Something tells me I don't and it's going to be a fight.
Most other stuff is like getting ready to go on vacation. I have to pack for the hospital. I have to tie up some loose ends at work.
I'm excited and nervous. I think I'd feel better if I hadn't forgotten to take my blood pressure meds in 2 days. Oh well, hopefully soon enough I won't have to take them every again.
I started off the day with some cereal and a banana. For lunch I'm having Jello and some cream of chicken soup.
Tonight I can have broth or popcicles but not much else and nothing after midnight.
The one thing I never expected was the outpouring of good wishes from my wife's co-workers. It has been heart warming to say the least. I appreciate everyone one of the notes I've gotten.
I'll see you on the other side...
Good luck Mike!
