Well folks, I leave in an hour to go have exploratory surgery. I am so, so nervous. I hardly slept last night and feel like a walking zombie at the moment. Its just a simple laproscope surgery to see the extent of the damage (endrometriosis) and whether or not I'll need further surgery. Hubby and I both feel its pretty bad and we won't be surprised if they tell us further surgery is unavoidable.
Hubby feels so, so guilty he can't take off (he's got to save his days off for job interviews and the "real" surgery).
I tried to get my mom to come and she couldn't get off because half her company is on vacation. She feel just awful and is coming up to take care of me tomorrow (awww, I love my mommy!)
Hubby suggested I call his father to be here with me in the hospital and afterwards at home, but the man drives me crazy with his endless stories that jump from one concept to another (my favorite being the steamy affair Mrs. Smith of the pie company had with a local cop that somehow in his mind segued into a junior league baseball tournament) I usually get stuck on the phone with him for hours.... I cannot imagine being stuck post-op at home with him!
Anyhow, that leaves my youngest daughter. She's very excited to day a day off at school.... the hospital is none too pleased that a 16 year old is in charge like this but thats what I was able to come up with. Poor Heather's going to have her hands full with me and Cameron today!
Please keep me in your thoughts today. I'm nervous (as you might have been able to tell from my rambling). I'm afraid of what they'll find out just as much as I'm afraid of what this hospital bill will cost us. Or perhaps the bill afterwards frightens me more?I just want to get this done and over with and get everything fixed so that I won't be in constant pain anymore.
