Surgery's Scheduled & Feelin' Good

Yes - I am feelin' good! At first I was feelin' scared but once I committed to the date for my fibroid-the-size-of-an-orange surgery, I started feeling like everything was going to be better!

Friday, August 13

When the surgeon coordinator asked if I was superstitious, I said no, so she scheduled me for Friday, the 13th!

It seems like it will work out ideally to minimize time away from work too, with major recovery over the weekend and hopefully working some from home that next week. Then hopefully one week in the office and then our week of vacation, where I will continue to recover.

So, that's the plan, Stan! And I am feeling like this is the right next step. I'm feeling postive about things, whereas I hadn't in awhile. Maybe sometimes just having a plan helps. I sure hope this will help us!

    I am so glad that you are feeling positive with this step. I wish you tons of luck for your upcoming surgery.
    P.S. I live on the 13th floor of an apartment bldg, most do not even have 13th floors. I think it is good luck :)

    I almost got married on the 13th to save money on the reception hall since it's cheaper on all Friday the 13ths.

    Best of luck!! Everything will go great!

    So glad you scheduled the surgery! I hope & pray it helps too. A Friday is convenient, especially so your hubby can wait on you for a few days!

    I am glad your surgery is scheduled. The "known" is often easier than the "unknown". Get that sucker out of your uterus!

    Good for you. Once my surgery was scheduled I felt that I could look forward to taking a postive step on my to TTC again. Honestly, it was really helpful to have a break from thinking about it all the time.

    Stopping by from ICLW (and getting a late start). You must feel relieved now that you've got your surgery scheduled--even if it is Friday the 13th. LOL! I always do better with a plan.

    Take care.

    I'm glad you're not superstitious! In fact, that's probably the best day to schedule anything, since most people will be too afraid to schedule anything on that date, so the doctors will have more time to concentrate on each patient :)
    Hope it goes well, and that the recovery is quick and as painless as possible!
    Happy ICLW!
