I finally got my call today regarding when my surgery will be. As someone who thrives on schedules and plans I was anxiously (though patiently) waiting for this call. The surgery will take place on June 14th (very happy I won’t miss the church picnic). I’m excited because it will be at the fancy new

I pass by the behemoth of a building at least once a week
and I’ve been curious as to what the insides looked like; it’s kind of like
Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory but not quite as fun or cool because after all
it is a hospital. Maybe they should send you home with a bag of candy or even
better maybe they should put a Max Brenner’s in the hospital. That would make the
experience even better! Hopefully my curiosity will sustain and offer a smidgen
of distraction from the reality of having to have people jab around at my
innards and take out the rotten bits and pieces.

I’ve had to juggle (jugglers at the hospital would be fun too,
but not clowns. NEVER clowns) scheduling various appointments. I need an ultrasound one week prior to the
surgery, a dexascan a week before the ultrasound because I may not be able to lie
that still after the surgery and the dexascan needs to be completed before my
next rheumatology appointment which is two weeks after my surgery. I already scheduled my post ultrasound/
pre-let’s talk about the surgery appointment with the surgeon. I’ll also have to schedule all the
pre-surgery paper work and have labs done at the hospital. Whew, that’s a lot but so far it is going
smoothly. I like having things that I
have to do while I’m waiting because I can focus more on my to- do list and I
ruminate less on the scary taking a nap while people poke holes in my belly
button part.
