I managed to finish the week with working, but it was a tiring week. I stayed late every night to try and get additional things in order, so I was exhausted by Friday night. I really should have scheduled to go to Texas this past week, as the drainage and pain have increased with time. More of the incision area has opened as time progresses.
The highlight of my Friday and week was to arrive home to a gift package. Thanks Vicki and Bob for the Vera purse .... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! (Will write more in another note) I was having a pity party earlier in the week that I didn't get to go to the Vera sale in Indiana this weekend & then a special surprise arrived!
The surgery is scheduled for 7:30am on Monday, May 12th. We have to be at the hospital (same place as last time) between 6-6:30am, so it will be early to bed the night before. I'll see the surgeon in the pre-op area right before, but I don't have too many questions left to get answered. He has answered a lot of questions via e-mail. Actually, I am glad that it is early ... it means the doctor will not be tired. I have to ask yet how long we are talking on surgery time, but he is devoting the entire day to it - think it will be long. Our flight to TX leaves around 11am on Mother's Day and we arrive in San Antonio around 4:30pm. A good friend and former neighbor (who is also a nurse) lives in Arlington, TX and she is going to fly to San Antonio late afternoon on Friday and will spend the weekend with us at the hospital (May 16th weekend). It will be fun to see her.
We are finishing errands, banking, getting hair cut, toe nails done, and all the important stuff this weekend. Next week will go quickly. Still at peace with it all and have the utmost confidence in our southern surgeon.
Love & hugs,
Jenny
