One day until my hernia repair and so much still to do!

We just got home from spending a few days at the lake with my Mom and Granny. It was wonderful to spend time with them but now I have so much to do before Monday morning. Laundry, cleaning, unpacking, etc. WOW! Overwhelming!
 The hospital called. I have to be there at 7 am. Surgery is at 9. I pray I am making the right decision in doing this now. The doctor thinks I am at my lowest weight but what if I am not??? He doesn't want to wait it out longer out of fear of another bowel obstruction. The knot  where the hernia is gets big by the end of the day. It knots up...yucky! Not fun. Another emergency situation would not be good. Guess he is the expert. I definately don't need to miss more school this year due to another emergency that's for sure.
My son is scared. He keeps making little comments and asking questions. I keep reassuring him that I will be fine. Keep those prayers coming. Thanks OH family for always listening you are the greatest!
Nothing tastes as good as this feels!

Glad you had a nice few days to relax.
I wouldnt worry so much about the house, ask for help!
I think I would definitely want surgery on a planned shedule, not emergent. Please take care of yourself.
How sweet your son is. Just keep reassuring him.

Prayers for a speedy recovery!
