Surgery T-I-M-E

Tomorrow I go in for my gall bladder surgery. At this point, I have to admit I am a tad nervous. While driving home from school, I realized that I will be gone for 3 whole weeks! This is not new news, but I think I realized how much I will miss out on at school. My surgery is at 10 and we hope to be rolling by 1pm. I have a few things lined up for while I am recovering, but mostly have healing on my mind. Like Richard reminded me, I have been dealing with this for 9 years and two weeks out of school is nothing compared to the amount of thought I have given this over the years. I am mostly grossed out when I think about the cuts and having to actually see the tape on the eensy weensy incisions. Dumb. As I stop eating and drinking until after the surgery, I look at the most humongous balloon I have ever received and the bright flowers I got from one of my second grade students, I am anxious for the morning! I am not kidding, the balloon is huge!
