Wow - That Was Quick

So, I have been anxiously waiting for Dr. Logan's office administrator to call and set up a date for surgery.  I fully expected the date to be sometime maybe the first week of March, but more likely the second week and worried about the timing.  So today when Karen called me she said she was looking at February 28th and was that okay with me.  Silence.    I was looking through my calendar on the computer at work and then on my iPad for conflicts that I could not change.  I finally asked her what the next available date would be in March and she said at least the 19th or later and without hesitation I said no - let's do the 28th.  That means I will miss the St. Joseph DHS Board meeting and the conference call from Lansing regarding "tickets" but both of these can be covered by my outstanding 2nd line managers.  Karen said she has some work to do on her end to get this done so quick and will get back with me.  I need to have a physical, some medical history, etc. before surgery but knows it will be early on the 28th.  That is good because I am an early person and would rather have 7:00 a.m. surgery any day than 11:00 a.m. and anything in the afternoon.  I also think if I get it done early, then the clock will start ticking so I can get home.  Hospitalization for 3 to 5 days - I am thinking I will fit in that 3 day category just because.  I have a high threshold for pain, I would always rather be home, and I am relatively healthy. 

Of course, I have put things in place at work, contacted my boss, and began briefing my 2nd line managers.  I know I will be on the computer with them checking my e-mail, etc. once I get home just to stay in the loop.  Also, I can now plan a little better what weeks for certain we can be in Florida and reserve a week or two of timeshare and/or set up using homes of friends that always offer them up. 

I also have been googling TRAM flap reconstruction and saw some actualy surgical photos - very interesting.  Let's do this!  Maybe I should start packing for Florida so I can be ready without too much fuss.  :)

I will keep you all updated on my activity and how the process progresses.  See you later.
