Life goes on
Pre-op testing went alright. Long day, made me tired. I took a nap when I got home. Yesterday was better - went mini-golfing and playing air hockey and skee ball. I'm awake enough now to feel like I want to do something, but too restless to settle on what. I think I'm somewhat worried about the whole surgery thing, even though it seems like it's a safe, common procedure. There's just always something a bit worrisome about being rendered unconscious and having people muck about in your body while you're out of it.
The pain level thing is also kind of messing with me. Sometimes I'm in very little pain and things get done and I get stuff accomplished and so on, at least partially. Then pain comes on out of nowhere, and everything just has to stop. Pause. On hold, dropped, or delayed whatever I was doing. It's affecting my ability to focus on things and to connect with people and things. I just feel like I'm drifting through this time, more or less, waiting for things to be fixed so they can move right and relatively whole again.
My phone charger cord has died, so I need to swing by the phone store tomorrow and get a new one. I also have to take Steve to get his hair cut, and mom to Shop Rite for groceries and out to lunch. I'm betting on being exhausted by the end of the day again tomorrow.
