Tomorrow's the big day...

So tomorrow's the big day and I'm still not nervous. Is that normal? Oh well, I guess now's not really the time to start being normal :-)...

I have to be there at 6:30am with surgery beginning at 7:30am. I'm hoping to be home by noon at the latest...surely it can't take that long for anesthesia to wear off, right? I'll hopefully have the packing splints removed on Wednesday but they can remain up to a week. Please pray that's not the case as I'll have to breathe through my mouth until they come out.

Thinking happy thoughts!

Gearing Up

We're gearing up for the big surgery or holiday project, as I like to think of it! Tay's schedule has been farmed out to several members of our family and we are extremely grateful for their help. Christmas decorations will go up this weekend so that we don't have to suffer through what they would look like if put up in a Darvocet fog. All of my prescriptions have been filled so they'll be ready to go...because, really, we all know I'm not very patient and I'm guessing will be even less so on Monday :-)...

Hopefully, I'll be up to updating (hey, that sounded funny) when I get home from surgery on Monday morning/afternoon. I keeping thinking it can't be all that bad. I mean, the last time it was broken I was wide awake so being asleep ought to make the process much more bearable, right?

Most importantly, I got a new pajama wardrobe yesterday to serve as a distraction from the big, bulky splint I'll be sporting for a week or so...and, yes, I promise to post pics (a good friend of mine from work requested those...you know who you are...) for your viewing enjoyment :-)

Here's the before picture...
