The Surgery is taking over my life! I’ve found that most of my activites focus around it. We leave for Germany 2 weeks from today and the surgery is 15 days away (You can follow the countdown over in the sidebar with the nifty countdown tool that I found).

Here’s where I’m at on it.

* I’ve been reading that if you are in good shape then the recovery is better. So, I’ve been on a crash diet and I’ve been going back to the pool for some exercise. I’m not sure if 3 weeks of diet and exercise will help, but I’m giving it a shot. I hit the pool for the 4th time this week in a little while.

* My job is focused on getting stuff done before I have to leave.

* I’m totally freaked about the surgery and recovery. I’m realizing more and more that this is MAJOR surgery and that the recovery will be as such. Everyone says that recovery times vary and my history is that my body typically takes longer for things like this. I’m not looking forward to being an invalid.

* I think all of the details for the kids are worked out (at least they are close).

* I’m praying like crazy, but I’m still stressed like crazy.

15 days to go . . . .
