Today I go in for the pre-op; blood tests, an EKG, and I
meet with the anesthesiologist. I still don’t quite how to take all of this. I
haven’t been through anything like this before and I feel overwhelmed because I
need the surgery to begin with and because I’m going to be sliced open. Even
though its four small cuts to insert the robotic surgical tools it’s still a
two hospital stay post-op and two weeks home. I just want to get this over with
and move on. It isn’t as much as time consuming thoughts filling my head as it
all consuming.
I talked to the surgeon the night before last and found out
I can’t fly for a month. That takes me out of the company Christmas party in
New York. Two people are selected from the Atlanta area each year to attend the
party and this year I was chosen, but I won’t make it. I was looking forward to
going and I think my boss was happy about it also. I haven’t been to the home
office and it would have been great to meet the people I deal with, via phone
and email, face-to-face. But that has to wait. Maybe next year.
