Today is my last day of work for a while. I feel like I’m leaving permanently, but it’s really only for a few weeks while I’m recovering my next week’s surgery. My co-workers were sweet enough to bring me a “Good Luck” cake and flowers. (We look for any excuse to bring in cake or dessert around here.)
I’ll be heading up to Virginia tomorrow and back on Sunday, just in time for surgery on Monday. Then I’m going to have a few weeks of not doing a whole lot. I hope I can get home by next weekend from the hospital and start the recovery process back in my own house.
While I never look forward to surgery, I have to say, I’m kind of excited about having some break time. Especially since I have once again overbooked myself recently, I think that some time off will do me good. And having that time off during the summer is just an added bonus.
And last night, my mom and I worked hard to put together 5 freeze-ahead meals in less than 4 hours! So Jarrod and I should have some easy dinner options that we can just stick in the oven and not have to worry about putting anything together.
I’m not quite sure what to expect coming out of this surgery. I’m actually a little concerned about the recovery and that it might be worse than my last one. Going into my first surgery, I was feeling so bad that I immediately was feeling better afterwards, even as I was recovering. But this time, I’m already feeling good, so I do worry that I’m really going to feel the recovery more this time.
But still, I’m just going to be glad to have this over with and behind me and be able to look forward to never having surgery again!
