countdown pt. II

Just over a month ago I was in love with my countdown clock - I spent a good minute watching the seconds tick by towards my paid-for-mostly-in-full surgery.

But now? It kind of seems like that clock is laughing at me, reminding me of all of the million things I have to do before I'll be ready. (As if I could be actually ready for this). But the migraines aren't stopping - though the new anti-nausea medication actually stops them in their tracks - so there's no way I'm stopping now.

This week is a busy one - today is shopping and brainstorming soups with my amazing mother-in-law, tomorrow is helping my friend in her classroom and getting hooks on at Dr. Molen's office, Wednesday is the husband's birthday and I work at Starbucks, Thursday pre-op appointment with Dr. Lee and I'm picking up my marathon packet in Seattle, and Saturday is the half-marathon. So pretty much between now and my "last meal" event at my favorite brew pub, I've got 3 days to myself.

It's all coming so quickly.

At least the staying busy part helps keep your mind off of things. I'm so excited for you!!

Hi Stephanie, I found you blog looking for orthognathic blogs. I have my surgery on Wednesday so I was totally there just last week, although my week managed to pass by with me picking up a cold along the way so I hope things go smoothly for you with your 8 days left. Good luck!!

"favorite brew pub"

Would that be the Fishbowl in Olympia? I miss it lots!

I'm glad things are working out for your surgery and that it's happening soon! Can't wait to see the "after pictures"!
