Finally Moving Forward

Yeah! The Nurse Practitioner called me Friday on the drive home from work. She was working through the files on her desk just like I was told.

 

Now that things are in her hands, it seems as though the ride from here might be a bit smoother. I am not scheduled:

 

August 21 - Endoscopy

September 24 - Chest X-Ray; EKG; Blood Work

September 26 - Review tests with Nurse Practitioner, go over 2 week diet requirement and schedule the surgery date!!

 

After talking things over with my hubby, and trying to navigate the events we have coming up, I believe I'm going to work to begin the 2 week liquid diet on 10/15. I have a wedding party to do make up for (Mary Kay Consultant) the first weekend of October. We are taking my 88 y/o mother-in-law on vacation the next weekend (10/12). That would put my surgery (if I'm lucky and there's availability) the week of 10/29....which puts it very near my birthday. I'm TOTALLY ok with that, as this can then be my birthday present to myself!!! At 44, I'll be starting a new me! Next year, it will be 2 birhtdays in one! :) This will also mean (hopefully....if post-surgery recouperating goes well) that I could potentially have turkey and mashed potatoes with everyone at Thanksgiving! And Christmas will be even better because that will be about 8-9 weeks out and things should be showing significant progress. (I know, maybe a bit Pollyanna-ish, but if you're not positive, things won't happen, right?)

 

WHOO HOO!!! I'm SO excited this is finally moving forward.

Very happy for you and a positive attitude is a must. This will be one of the most challenging experiences in your life but so very worth it. I'm in week 4 and am feeling fantastic!! I'm blessed that I've had very little issues at all since my surgery. You will do great!! Congrats!!
