Pre-Op & The DMV

Yes, we are one week away from my surgery! Today I got poked and prodded to the umpteenth degree. Oh the joy! NOT Also had to have my physical for medical clearance with my own primary physician (while I love the staff at my doctors office, I really can't complain about a one of them), I can tell you I would have rather been doing anything else but what I was doing and why I was doing it.

Add to the mix, Pre-Op this morning, Physical and Medical Clearance this afternoon, I had to go to the DMV in between! A Root Canal would have been more fun, yet, I was blessed in the end with a very nice lady who took care of my multiple transactions (had to renew my drivers license and re-register the car) oh and can I say, I wasn't even remotely close to wanting or thinking I would have to have a new Drivers License picture!!! Can you say 'HUH' - yup that is what my picture looks like. Does anyone take a good Drivers License picture? I'd love to know - cause I gotta tell ya, I've yet to get a good one. Anyways.....

I've spent the better part of the last two weeks getting my ducks, or chicks in a row (Shout Out to my Skype chick-a-dees);) Getting major projects done around the house, the house itself cleaned and organized, the kids settled, bills paid in advance, all that fun "grown up" stuff. I also had to update my Will, since quite a bit has changed since I last did it - - like getting married for starters! Kids are older, guardians have changed, things in general that we often don't like to think about but must when time demands it.

So, other than a few little projects left around the house, the master bedroom being one of them (needs to be re-organized and rearranged)I know I know, not exactly a "little" project but it will keep me busy over the next couple of days. I feel like I'm in a good place, an organized place, a controlled place. Again, I know I know, we can't control everything and the surgery, for one, will be something beyond my control, but at least all the peripheral stuff is done. That makes me feel good.

Hmmmm a heck of a day to be sure. My thanks to the kind DMV lady, the staff at Orange Regional Medical Center and of course my fine docs and nurses at my primary doc office. They were doing and did their best to look out after me as we go into this next chapter in the life of me. Surgery and Recovery is next. Wish me luck!

One last note, to my Sis (she know who she is) and to my "Louise" for having my back - Always. Thank you.

Much Love to One and All
