Tomorrow is the big day. I wish I had chosen the earlier surgery time. I don't have to be at the hospital until 11 AM. Since I've been waking up so early, it will be a long wait until surgery time.
Since yesterday I've had a steady stream of family visiting. My brother and his family arrived early yesterday morning. They are fun to hang out with and I'm glad they are here. My dad and stepmother came for dinner last night. I grilled steaks. They were amazing. It may be the last full steak that I ever eat. It was definitely one of the best I've ever eaten.
Today my mom and grandparents arrive. We're grilling hamburgers for lunch. Then we'll just hang out for the rest of the day. I'm glad I get to see everyone before surgery, but truth be told, I don't want to see anyone after surgery.
I guess I am getting a bit anxious. I have been short tempered with Darla. I hate that I am. It is sad that most often those who are closest to us receive the brunt of our anxiety in stressful situations. She is a God send in my life. She has been very supportive and I can't imagine going through all of this without her.
I must say I am looking forward to my two week off of work. I plan to get outside and walk as much as I can. I may also catch up on some movies that I have been wanting to see. There is work to be done around the house. I doubt I'll get too any of that. I don't want to risk screwing up the surgery. I do wish I had gotten the yard mowed before now, oh well...
On TV they are covering the Knoxville Marathon. Who knows...perhaps some day I'll be on the starting line with all of those runners.
Until tomorrow...
