This week is busy for me, yet not going by fast enough.

Monday I have to meet with the pre-op nurse at 2:30pm, Wednesday is the surgery, have to be there at 11am, surgery is 12:30pm.

I am starting to get stressed about it, and a bit nervous and I think my BP is kicking in as "leave me alone" like I don't feel like talking and just want to be alone, as far as people in my life, not any of you. It's like everything is just setting me off. The pain isn't helping either.

I sound like such a baby, but I hate being out of commission for any length of time. I have a post op appt. the following week. I still have no clue how I am getting there, I guess I will be doing cabs. UGH

I hope to be able to get the Bayada nurses/PT's to come to the house, since I will be housebound, because I won't be able to drive, Medicare will pay for that then 100%.

Hope everyone is having a good week. The only time I feel peaceful is when I am walking one of my dogs, just me and him and the mountains and the perfect warm weather at dawn or dusk.

Too bad we can't put a nurse's uniform on one of your doggies and smuggle him into the hospital as a nurse's assistant. I'll bet if everybody could take their pets to the hospital with them, they'd heal 10 times faster. Nothing like fur and LOVE to make everything better

I never pictured there being mountains out there. Guess that shows who paid attention during geography class

You know, Nikko, if love and respect and caring and HUGS could heal a person, you'd be healed as soon as your feet hit the street. Try not to worry too much. Calming music is supposed to help relax you. My son says classical musical calms him -- now THAT would be a major miracle

You're getting all the crap in your life out of the way this year. Next year is going to be absolutely wonderful for you. BELIEVE in that. BIG HUGS (and love).

I thin it normal for worrying to happen before facing surgery. It's going to be okay Nikko, we're all going to be here waiting when you get back and are able to post. We'll understand you won't be up to it right away and we'll be here for you when you're done with healing too. Hang in there, only a few days left.

I think that it is 11:00 where you are and 2:00 here in the Eastern Time zone. That means that you are in pre-op and will be in surgery at 3:30 our time.

We are thinking about you. I've got fingers and toes crossed for you.

Thinking about you today Nikko, keeping you in my prayers. You're in good hands.

Still here.
I don't know how long the surgery is.
Maybe you are in post-op now.

Sending you healing thoughts for a full recovery.
