Another surgery for me....oh my!
Pattye, bless your heart. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your aunt. ((((HUGS)))))
I'll be happy to come up and visit you at the hospital, too ... and I promise not to tell too many jokes since it hurts like the dickens to laugh after surgery. ; )
I am relieved for you though to finally be at the point to have your hernia taken care of surgically. I'm already praying for you to be comforted in this very difficult time and to have a safe and successful surgery with a very speedy recovery.
Shelly I truly appreciate your kindness. The weirdest part is this is the first time I am actually scared. And I do not know why... So instead of taking a few days off from work before surgery I have asked to schedule me for as many days and shifts as possible just to keep my mind off of the surgery. I am taking one day off just to "cook" my meals for 2 weeks after surgery, and I have already made sure my life insurance policies, power of attorney and such has been given to someone in case of the unforsen happens...
being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it
