It's true what they say. Waiting is the hardest part -- at least so far. Although I received my MRI results on Friday and today is only Wednesday (and Monday was a holiday), it has felt like an eternity since then as I have waited to hear about a date for surgery. The wait is now over. I am scheduled for surgery on Monday, the 13th. Now, suddenly that feels as though it is coming too quickly! I have lots to do over the next four days. I have a work deadline to meet, a newsletter to create, a friend who needs a hand on Saturday, as well as finally contacting my insurance company to see what I'm up against with them, and learning what I can about the upcoming procedure. I also have to go to the hospital tomorrow for what they call pre-anesthesia testing. Two hours of blood work, medical history (how many times do I have to dole out my medical history at the same hospital, which is fully equipped with the latest in technology?) instructions and who knows what else. So I had better get back to work and wrap some of these things up before Monday.
Thanks for all the support, the offers of help (which I'm sure I will take you up on eventually), your kind thoughts and good wishes. I will keep you posted or will have my emissary (aka Lydia) do so.
