Oh, boy!
Tomorrow is my surgery, and I'm a nervous wreck. It's actually amazing that I've made it 27 years without having to have anesthesia at any point, so perhaps I'm lucky?....I'm having all kinds of irrational fears, which is quite typical for me, but really, I just want tomorrow to be over with. I guess it's good that I'm teaching today so it will take my mind off of it for awhile. Ah, well. Hopefully it will give me the answers I'm searching for.
But, I did do something to make myself happy: I booked a flight to London for December 30--yea for me! I haven't been home with Steve in 4 years, so we're excited. I'm nervous because it's my first trip overseas since being gluten free, but the UK has the highest rate of celiac in the world, so it seems to be a pretty GF friendly place. I'll just have to pack a lot of food, but hey, I'm used to that wherever I fly nowadays. The bad thing is that there are still those damned restrictions on flights to/from the UK, so we'll see what happens. I'll be there for 14 days, and then Steve and I will be flying back together. So, while we won't get to spend Christmas together, we will be together for New Year's, and that hasn't happened in several years. I also need a vacation; this year has been a really bad one, and I need to get the heck out of here, and going across the Atlantic seemed a good way to go. My only concern is for my doggie. My parents will be away, and my brother is my normal doggie day care, but now he'll have to be in the kennel for 14 days. Poor Cairo--I'll have to call the kennel from England to check on him (my dog is spoiled :)
I'm also getting to go to Cornwall, which is where Steve's mom lives. It's on the southern coast of England, and it's supposed to be beautiful, but, January in England is probably not the best time to go, but so be it.
Hopefully I'll have good things to say about my surgery after tomorrow, and at least it will all be over with soon. Stupid worrying.
