Oh gall!

Well, my surgery is tomorrow. Let's hope it really happens this week! :) I'm nervous, of course, as I've never been put under before. I know I will be fine, but the unknown is always a tad nerve wracking.

Because of our complications last week, having to reschedule the whole shebang, the biggest bummer of all is that Ryan is going to be out of town. He leaves today for a business/hunting trip to South Dakota for the weekend. Now, mind all of you who are having negative thoughts towards my hubby leaving me during surgery (ahem!); he DID offer to cancel and stay back to take care of me (numerous times), but as this whole thing has been one big hullabaloo, I told him he shouldn't cancel plans. Because I'll be just fine.

Luckily, I have a great Dad who could clear his schedule to take care of his baby tomorrow. :) Thanks Rog. My Dad will be taking me to the hospital bright & early tomorrow morning (I have to be there by 7), stay with me for the day, take me home, and then is staying overnight too. My mom comes home from Guam on Saturday and will hang out/sleep off her jet lag while I sleep with me then.

Ryan's mom is taking the kiddos up to Grand Rapids for a few days so I can recover in peace. What a blessing! Can you imagine trying to rest & recover from surgery with little ones? I know some of you have probably done it, but I am so thankful for the reprieve! (And still hoping to feel good enough to get some paperwork done!!)

I'd love your prayers tomorrow morning and through the weekend for a speedy recovery! Thanks!
