I finally feel like I can breathe. After all of the craziness of the week, all I have left to do over the weekend is just breathe. Sure, I still have shots to give myself twice a day, but at least I have those. I’ve talked to the surgery center, the orthopedist’s office, and my cardiologist today. They all called me. I did not have to make a single phone call, just answer them (and I messed that up twice!).
I know that they got everything they needed to go forward with the surgery because they called and told me what time I needed to be there on Monday. I don’t even have to arrive until 11:30, which is so very annoying. I can’t eat or drink after midnight, so I know I’ll be starving. It’s always bad enough when it’s first thing in the morning. And you’re always so much hungrier when you know you can’t eat. It also means I’ll have more time to be anxious in the morning. I have a feeling time is going to move very slowly. The kids have to be at church for a mission project at 8:00, so I won’t even have them here as a distraction. I may spend the entire morning writing to keep myself busy. Be ready!
I do have a new project I’m working on, though. I’m very excited to be helping a friend with her growing business. I am sure I’ll share more about it soon, but we’re still working out exactly what it will look like, so I don’t want to get too ahead of myself. I’m hopeful that this will help me feel more useful than I’ve been feeling the last year or so. I said a while back that I needed to find a purpose and this might just be it. At least for now.
