Hello, Spring Break. It's great to see you again.
I have had interesting Spring Breaks over the years. Many were low-key as in staying at home and recharging the batteries, others were amazing vacations- Cayman with Mark and Cath in 2009, Scottsdale with Jack, Wayne, Julie, Sally and Matt last year (both vacations so memorable and fun), Others were a bit traumatic, like sitting through my brother Tom's federal trial in 2004, going to Houston for Tom's radiation for his brain tumor in 2006, planning Tom's funeral services in 2007...
Well, let's just say that Spring Break has had its ups and downs.
This Spring Break is in a class of its own.
I am getting a new hip!
Not to jinx it, because I cannot get a cold or the flu or have anything wrong with me on Monday morning, but if all goes well, I will be having surgery to replace my left hip first thing Monday morning.
I am so excited and grateful and a little bit keyed up (I think that was one of my mom's expressions).
I feel great about the surgeon (trust me, I did lots of research!) and his team. My experience with them has been excellent so far. My doctor has a website full of great information and that has been super helpful to me.
I report to the hospital at 5:45am. That is about 33 hours from now!
Please pray for me that I stay healthy (everyone I work with had a virus with a terrible cough last week!) and am ready for surgery on Monday.
I promise to keep you updated.
