Waiting for My Real Life to Begin...

What a day. 

I have/had 3 weeks from the date I first cold contacted my surgeon to the day I step on the plane to head for surgery.  I have been in panic mode trying to get all of my pre-op testing done (and I do mean ALL) so that I can meet that deadline.  When I contacted my PCP to start the schedluing I had 2.5 weeks left and though she said she would help she didn't think I'd have a chance of getting it done.  Long story short after many trials and tribulations, tests in 3 diiferent cities and 5 different medical centers I am DONE with 6 days to spare.

I can not tell you how great it felt to get the results today and find out everything is a go.  I was in a true sense of bliss as I got in my truck and just sat there smiling.  When I turned on the radio the first song I heard was new to me but just summed up the feelings I am feeling.  It's called "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" by Colin Hay.  www.youtube.com/watch

I raced back to work and immediately bought the mp3 and have been playing it since then.  Just smiling this dumb far away smile and thinking about my 'Real' life that I am finally going to get to experience. 

Do yourself a favor and take a listen ... As for me I finally have a chance to just sit and '...watch the horizon because my ship is coming in...'  for you see  '...I already have a Plan,  and I'm Waiting for My Real Life to Begin...'


May all your Journeys take you to the Horizons of Your Real Life.

Awesome song Mike, thanks for sharing it!!!!  The lyrics are so true for my life as well,  this journey is a long one, sometimes tough but in the end its one journey i'd sure do over again if I had too.  Congrats on getting everything you needed to get accomplished,  I know you had to of been so proud.   Keep up the good work!!
