lighterthanairBigger than last time, anyway. At 2:30 PM AST, my surgery is scheduled. Thus I'm expecting that around 2 PM, I'll probably be getting to that time where I'm drugged to the gills and the world doesn't make much sense anymore.
And you know, that's fine with me. Just so long as this ordeal starts to end. Properly this time. Not like the other 3 attempts at treating me that ultimately ended in failure because Dr. S simply didn't believe that things were as serious as I kept telling her they were. Sad that it took me being hospitalized and needing 3 units of blood to convince her that hmm, yeah, maybe I should start to do something other than put a band-aid on the giant gaping open wound (figuratively).
I figured I'd sleep terribly last night, what with being nervous about this. As it turns out, I had the best night of sleep in almost a week. Not sure what it is about me sleeping well the night before medical procedures, but I can't say I'm unhappy about having gotten some decent rest. And from what I've been told by people who've undergone similar procedures, I can expect to feel like sleeping for a solid week afterward. I know it's mostly stress that's been causing this week's insomnia, so hopefully once this is done, I can start recovering in many ways.
Not sure when I'll next be back online. I suppose it depends on when I get home, and when I can sit up long enough to use my laptop. Updates will probably be made on Facebook first, so if you want to follow me there, that's more than cool. (It's nice to have more people to talk to!)
Wish me luck!
