I can't believe we have just one week left before hubby's surgery! Where did the time go? This time next week we will be getting ready to leave for the hospital.
At times I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed. It seems like every time I cross something off the list, they send us something new to do! I admit there are times when the thought of surgery for me, scares me. He asked me the other day to please make sure he wakes up, as he had a bit of a hard time doing that the last time. But I am trying to remain as calm as possible and stay positive. He too has his moments of doubt. I think we were feeling it a bit more the other day when we were doing the health care proxy, the living will and the will.
I am confident in the doctors. It was the same one that did it the last time, and he was able to walk for another 10 years. We are bound and determined to try and have some fun this week. I have taken a personal day, as well as my normal 2 days off. Today we are going to do some errands, and then enjoy the sunshine. Wednesday is calling for rain, so maybe we'll finish the list off. Friday is my birthday (yikes another one? I thought I stopped having those years ago! lol) and he wants us just to enjoy the day. No plans, just take that day as it comes.
Lots of things to do this week. But I am confident HP will take care of us. I just need to remember my program when I'm feeling overwhelmed. After all, I'm going to have it alot easier than he will. He's the one that has to stay in bed for 3 months. I'm trying to figure out how I can rig a trout pound in the bedroom. So please keep us in your prayers this week and next.
Love and blessings to you and your families. Love to my MIP critters too!
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

That's a lot on your plate that you have been preparing for - Prayers said today that both of you will have the reassurance and inner peace that comes from your HP.
