Almost Ready

or as ready as I can be I guess. Abby asked me this morning if I was nervous about my surgery tomorrow. I explained that there are some things I'm nervous about, but the surgery in particular I'm not. I have prayed that God guide the surgeon so the procedure goes well and is successful and I heal quickly.

I am worried about the fasting part. I usually don't do well when I haven't had breakfast and after midnight tonight I can't eat, but I expect they wont give me the loop juice until around noon tomorrow so that's a lot of grumpy starving time for me. I'm worried about keeping my foot elevated above my heart for 3 to 5 days. I worry that my back will hurt me from just laying around for that long, and I worry that basic care bathroom things will be painful, awkward and awful. I worry about getting around the house when I can move again. But, the surgery I'm not so worried about.

Oscar is having his own procedure today - teeth cleaning. I worry a little about that because he's such a little guy. But, I trust the vets so I expect it will go well. I know that his vet is recognized by major breeders as one of the best in the country. That's right, not just the area but the whole country. They're good.

So, tonight I get to clean and do laundry one last time and get my bedroom ready for an extended immobile stay. I get my last meal for about a day or so and I hope I get a good night's sleep.

Type at you soon.
