Tentative date!!

Oct 15, 2013

The surgeon's assistant called me today.  They are saving December 18th for me, as long as I clear my final medical clearance on November 19th.  Assuming I get that, I have to go back two weeks later to meet with the surgeon and take my long nutritional class (with husband in tow).

I am blessed with a loving and supportive family.  Our son, daughter, SIL, and grandson (who will be 1 in December) are coming for Christmas.  Both have offered to take off from work (they each live in different parts of the country from us) to stay at our home to help my 89 year old mom and watch our dog.  They both also offered to have Christmas in Jacksonville if needed.

I am being selfish and putting my own health and well being over my kids and husband.  I know I'm throwing Christmas into a tailspin this year, but I finally believe I'm worth it.  Besides, if all goes well I'll be home on December 23rd, and Santa will know where to find us.
