Had my meltdown... 30.75 hours to go!

This has been quite a week.
Started out with someone on another board being an ass and me taking it way too personally and leaving the site for a bit. That is all better now..

I was scheduled to work Monday and come to NW Iowa on Tuesday, drive up to where my surgery is on Wednesday night for my surgery Thursday morning. Well Monday morning I woke up to a call from my mom telling me we have a winter storm headed our way on Tuesday and I better get up there Monday night.

Sooooo, I call work, tell them I will be in late and will only be working a few hours. Then I start throwing everything together, do last minute cleaning on my house, stop the mail and paper (I am gonna be recovering at my mom's house 250 miles from home for 3 weeks). I am running around crazy. Just as I THINK I am ready to head to work, everything is loaded.. my phone rings.. PCP office informs me they didn't do a pregnancy test and I have to come in before I leave. So after 3 minutes of arguing it would have to be an immaculate conception for me to be pregnant I agree to drive another 30 min out of my way to pee in a cup to prove what I already know. I finally arrive at work, finish up last minute details.

By the time I got to my mom's house last night I was frazzled to say the least. I think I cried half of the way here. We decided to go out and have a "last meal" together. I think Long John Silver's chicken planks sound SO good! WTF was I thinking!! At 4:30 this morning I find myself driving the porcelain school bus for about an hour. So much for my last meal, but at least I know I will never again be tempted by LJS again!

Spent the day watching it snow, then went outside and shoveled and played with my dog in the snow. I think we got 5" of real powdery pretty snow. Now I hear another storm is headed this way on Thursday but by then I will be safe and sound (I hope) in the hospital.

So now, here I sit in a quiet house. Mom went to bed a few hours ago. My dog is laying on the kitchen floor snoring and I am just a total bundle of emotions. Fear, excitement, anxiety, you name it.. I got it. So I decided to post this and give you all a laugh or cry or maybe even a giggle.

To all my 18th cohorts.. I wish you all the best, good vibes and a speedy recovery! I can't wait to sit with all of you on the loser's bench! Tom, I am gonna find you a purple gown for our summer get together!

Hugs to all! You are a great group of LOSERS!!

Wow, what a day you had!! I just want to know that I am thinking of you and also praying for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. I go in the day after you and can relate on the nerves and all these emotions I never thought I had. I also had a "last meal" and I swear it was the best meal ever. I had ribs and potatoe skins mmmmmmmm anyway lol....I cannot wait to share our experiences.
