19 Days Till Surgery

I tried talking to Dan about my surgery today, but the phone kept ringing and he had to answer. One time he did listen, but about 90 seconds later his hand was reaching for the phone and he was dialing. I guess must not really have been listening, but thinking of other things. That seems to be the way it goes around here.

He did tell me he's bringing me over the border for my surgery. I didn't think he would because he always has so much to do and he's worried about crossing over. I just assumed my friend would take me. I really don't have a problem with it, I'm use to it. I make plans and actually forget to ask him to come along since he never can. The few times he's mentioned it, I've felt bad for forgetting.

Anyway, he's going to come. Again I feel bad for him coming though. I know he's so busy, and I'll probably be in surgery for 3 hours or so. He's not the "waiting guy". I really do feel bad. He should be running his business not sitting around waiting for me.
I wish I could tell him, but there never seems to be a good time to talk to him anymore. When he's not on the phone or thinking about business, I'm just to tired to engage in that kind of discussion. So things get left unsaid.

So, there's 19 days left.
I wrote out a schedule for my mom to follow. The kids are always on the move. I figure she can go home on the 13th. That should be the day I get out, but I did mention for her to get confirmation just in case they keep me. She'll need to stay the extra day.
Once I'm home, I can get back to my normal routine. I'll just be a little sore and a bit slower.
I'm sure I'll manage.
Dan mentioned for me to postpone the surgery because I have nobody to help me afterward. The truth is, I have nobody afterward even if I did wait. Who would I get? My mom is already staying for 3 days and is coming back on the weekend to drive the kids to hockey. I wouldn't ask her to stay. So, pretty much there is nobody else. Only me. Now, or later, just me. So, I'm going to have to suck it up and just do what has to be done.

My liquid diet isn't so good today. I did have a shake, but I also had a piece of cake I know I shouldn't have. Well, tomorrow is another day.
