Well, that's done. I finally have a date for my surgery: September 9. I got the information I need for having my pre-op bloodwork and x-ray done. I feel less like there's a specter hanging over me and more like I'm moving toward improving my health. And I can make plans for getting my home ready for whoever is staying with me for a few days afterward. (That's all still up in the air. I'm a little frustrated about that, but I'm trying not to harsh my buzz. I found the pony in this shitty situation and I'm clinging to it!)
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Okay, good to know. (Marks it on calendar) I know that someone will be there, taking care of you, and whomever it is will be for your highest good - whether it's the best friend from Cali or the mom. (I think you might need a dose of "mommy-care", IMO)

Making plans--much more effective than worrying about making plans!
ReplyDeleteI've been lurking throughout your tribulations with the stapler, and I just wanted you know that I'm thinking of you. Remember--ask for pain medicine, and get moving as soon as you can. You'll do great!
