Impatiently waiting for my surgery date
I know what you will say but I'm here posting anyways. I am impatiently waiting for my call to tell me when my surgery will be. When I was in to meet the surgeon I was told it would be 2 to 3 months before my surgery. That was September 21. I just can't wait to get this going it's been such a long process. I feel I have done everything I can to be as prepared as I can. I want to make the arrangements I need to with work to be off. I am a kindergarten teacher and leaving these children is not that easy. I really hope my surgery ends up happening over Christmas so at least some of my time off is over the break.
Anyways, here is to the hope I get that phone call soon!
Thanks for listening.
