The countdown begins!

Well, I had my pre-op appt. this morning..... Glad the surgeon was having as much fun with his paperwork as I was with mine. We laughed a bit over that, shaking our heads as thousands of trees gave their lives to make sure we humans "keep our sh*t together". Then on to the business of how he will be doing the procedure. (won't know until he is in there). I wonder if I should request some background music? Maybe some Led Zepplin playing while I drift in and out of consciousness?
Yes, I am a bit apprehensive, but know that if I wait any longer to go through with it, I will have bigger problems. Here's a funny.... When I called in to have a case created for short term disability, they told me that 24 hours after my surgery I would get a call from my case worker. Well, 24 hours after I got a case number the case worker called! LOL! She asked me how I was. I said "Oh I'm doing ok". Then she said. "How was the surgery?" I said, "I don't have it until Feb 12th" Stunned dead silence ensued..... then a laugh came through. "Oh my goodness, I forgot to check the date on this case. I hope you will forgive me." I laughed and said "Well, it certainly is nice to meet you before all of the stuff happens. This way, I will remember your voice." It was really nice to know that someone was kind enough to call. LOL! And it was really pretty funny! I really hope I am able to answer the phone when she calls.
This is a big deal. I will no longer be able to have kids. That in itself for any woman is a big deal. No more options on that one. I resigned myself to the fact a while back, but next week, it will be final. It is a good thing at this point in my life. There are so many women in this world that can't have kids that may not think of it as something positive.
This just means that I am entering something new for my life. (with drugs which I never had before) Well, gotta go eat dinner. I will write more later
