Well, the week of surgery is finally here! I thought it would never get here, and now it's just three days away! I just hope everything goes smoothly. There's one little possible bump in the road that is totally out of my control. My healthcare provider is having a work stoppage this week, and on Thursday, the date of my surgery, the stoppage is scheduled for my particular hospital. They called me today to say surgery is scheduled for now, but if not enough staff is there on Thursday, I will get a call before my scheduled arrival time telling me not to come. So everyone send good thoughts, etc., so things will go as scheduled.
