That’s my stack of appointments for tomorrow, which start at 8:30 AM and end after 1:30 PM. SIX of them, all pre-op appointments including labs, EKG, and x-rays. I’m not even sure what some of them are, to be honest. One includes “teaching” of some sort. I’m just hoping I can navigate around the hospital fast enough to make them all on time.
I’ll be driving over to Tampa in a little while and staying in a hotel overnight. Otherwise, I’d have to leave here around 5:30 in the morning and I’m not having any of that. My sleep suffers enough as it is.
Countdown to surgery: 16 days. Ugh.














You’re gonna be fine, dude.

Yep – you’ll be fine. No point in psyching yourself out before it’s even here!

Crikeys. Thinking of you. Wishing you well. Hey … at least you’ll be in Tampa (where I’d like to be) and not Iowa.

@barak, Yes, I made all the appointments on time. All went well. Surgery scheduled for two weeks down the road.

Damn, that’s a stack you got there. Hope it’s not too painful. And just a little more than 2 weeks. I’m sending my best “heal quick” vibes your way ahead of time.
