4 Days and Happy Thanksgiving!

It's 4 days until my surgery and I couldn't sleep anymore. It's also Thanksgiving, which means I could have slept in, if I hadn't been waking up and worrying.

I've been doing a lot of that lately. Worrying.

My insurance is changing on December 1st. My surgery is November 30th. It will literarlly change while I'm in the hospital. It's been a really stressful time, making sure things would be covered...

To top it off, it seems that things are going wrong at every turn. Since my last blog, I've had my insurance physical and my pre-op appointment.

My insurance physical went fine; but I had to go to the hospital to have bloodwork and the EKG done. It was inconvenient as my doctor's office is 20 miles north of the hospital.

My pre-op was fine, I guess, but I don't feel like the splint will fit and that it isn't advanced enough. I guess we'll see.

Yesterday Dr L's office called to say that they were going to cancel my surgery unless the hospital got a copy of my physical, which my doctor apparently forgot to upload to the hospital network. 3 hours of scrambling and phone calls and I got it taken care of.

I'm just scared. Of what can go wrong, of recovery, of everything. It's scary.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for my husband, who makes me laugh and makes me roll my eys and who makes me pick up his socks.

And I'm thankful for my dog, who is always happy to see me, even when she poops on the basement floor and knows I'm mad.

And of course, for my family, my wonderful, fabulous friends both in real life and online and for my life, which I wouldn't trade for anything.
