D Day Approaches
I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but with the new job, the freelancing, the kids, the house, and the husband, let's just say my free time is nil. But the good news is I really like the job at Commerce. I think I found something I'm actually good at. I've gotten compliments from co-workers, my boss, and even some customers. This is a good thing, because working for this company, I could go far if I so choose.
Went to KeeneCon IV last weekend. (For those of you not running in the circles of horror authors, it's a big bash at my friend Brian's house every year...quick plug, www.briankeene.com) Except for one incident, which I won't go into, I had a really good time. Brought the kids with me, got to hang out with some good friends, and make some new ones. I always have a good time out there.
Tomorrow is the big day. I'm going in for my tubal ligation surgery. Surgery is at 9:45, but I have to be at the hospital at 8:15. Supposedly it's not big deal. From check in to check out it shouldn't be more than 5 hours or so. And from what the doctor said, I should be back on my feet the next day. I certainly hope so, because I'm scheduled to work Tues. night. But my boss knows I'm having surgery and I'm pretty sure he'd be ok with me staying home if I'm still not feeling well.
However, the prep for the surgery sucks. No eating, drinking, or SMOKING after midnight tonight! The eating and drinking I expected, since I'll be under general anesthesia. But the smoking through me for a loop. Apparently it thins the blood. I'm not supposed to have any aspirin or advil either.
I went for my pre-surgical testing on Friday. They took 3 vials of blood and had me sign about a million papers. I just loved the document about all the stuff that could go wrong that I can't blame them for. Nothing like boosting my confidence before going in. I know it's a common procedure and I trust my doctor, but the horror writer in me is already imagining tons of scenarios...none of them with a positive outcome.
Doubt I'll be able to post anything on Monday, but I'm sure I'll be able to drop a line Tues. to let you know how things went.
Until then...say a little prayer to whatever God or Goddess you worship. But I'm sure I'll be fine. :)
