| surgery today |

Unsurprisingly, I can't sleep. I'm supposed to be up in 2 hours, to head to the hospital.
We dropped Cora off at her friend's house last night, along with some Rescue Remedy and instructions for calming her down. Cora has been really stressing about this surgery. I've just kept trying to reassure her that even though I'm going under general anaesthesia, it's a minor surgery, and I have basically the best doc in Washington for this type of thing, and nothing's going to go wrong. But she still worries about it. So, at her request, I wrote her a note with the key "why not to worry" points that she can keep with her, and then we prayed about it, and she felt a lot better. Cora's friend went through stressing out over HER mom having surgery last year, and everything turned out fine, so I'm hoping she'll be a comfort to Cora as well.
We check in at 5:45am, and they'll do some prepping up at surgery. Then at 7:30, they'll take me over to Radiology, numb up my boob, and thread a wire through and into my breast, which will mark the area for the surgeon to take out. Then, with a wire hanging out of my breast, they will walk me back over to surgery. Then at 9am, they'll prep me and put me under. I should be out of recovery by noon.
If you're a prayer, of any type, please include me in yours. If not, please send me some positive thoughts. Thanks! |
