First...
Apparently my car alarm (or car system) has decided to go wonky on me. The car alarm just went off and all the doors were locked. One of the neighbors just hollered at me that it had been going off since 7:30. Um, I got home around 9 and it wasn't doing anything. The tailgate sensor has been going off as well when I'm driving in the morning. It's locked tight.
Grrrr....
So, let me catch my breath from running up and down the stairs twice...
Right.
Doctor's visit was nothing, paperwork to take home with me for admissions on Monday, any questions I have... go through what will happen... they will keep me in the hospital as long as I need to be there. If I feel capable of being home, they'll send me home. Obviously all my bodily functions need to be in order before leaving, but with luck I should be home by Wednesday.
So, I check in at 9, tell them I have to get an injection (to light up my lymph nodes), sit around for a while so that gets fully spread out, then they will prep me for the actual surgery, give me a general anesthesia... and nighty night for the next two and a half or three hours. Surgery is scheduled for 12:30 or noon, can't remember which, and surgery will take about two to two and a half hours, then recovery for the next two or three... I won't have a room or wake up until about 5 or 6. Just in time for dinner.
So... if anyone wants to know anything...I'll have my kids post info to my facebook friend list I suppose. That's where most of everyone is these days anyway. Word will get around to the people that need to know soon enough.
Oh I went and had a steak and lobster meal at Coco's with Katie and a friend of hers. Had a lot of fun, we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere a lot. Well our atmosphere at least. I promised myself a steak and lobster meal and I got it.
So nyah.
Hung out with Devon today, will have breakfast with Amber tomorrow before work. That is if my car doesn't go off again and I don't hear it. ::sigh::
Plan on going Sunday to just hang out with the kids and see Ava...
Amber thinks I'm being morbid wanting to see everyone before Monday, if the doctor doesn't think it's a big deal then I shouldn't be worried.
I'm just a tad bit sketchy about being put under and operated on. Having kids is one thing, there's a process they prepare you for and it's a positive thing. Knowing that I am going to be forced to go to sleep and when I wake up I will be in pain, have huge bandages on me and have a piece of me missing that should have been there for the rest of my life. Yeah, to say I'm kind of nervous about not seeing any of my family and friends again is being positive. (I mentioned this before didn't I? Probably.)
Every time someone says, 'you'll be fine... ' I get this niggling worry in the back of my head... they'll find more cancer than was there before, something will go wrong and no one will be prepared.
I just have all these worst case scenarios running through my head...
I'm being faced with a major physical incident in my life. Yeah... scares me big time. Scares me to tears sometimes.
