Real...

Well, I dropped off my consent for surgery today and now it all seems real! AHHH!! Don't get me wrong, I am ready for this because I want to get this process started so that I can move on and I have every confidence in the world in my dr's because they truly are some of THE BEST but I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous!!! I mean, this isn't any small surgery, it's a big deal and I've only had one other surgery and that was like 13 years ago and I was only under anesthesia for maybe 4 hours, this time I'll be under for about 6.5-7.5 hrs. However, if I want to get this surgery done, I have to get over this bronchitis...UGH!! If it's not one thing it's another. It figures that my surgery would get moved up and I would get sick. I started getting sick last Friday so I was unable to do the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk but I started treating it OTC. Then yesterday morning I woke up coughing up all kinds of junk and feeling like crap. I talked to the nurse at Dr. Nate's office and she said I HAD to get an antibiotic to kick this before Monday because if the Anesthesiologist hears anything in my lungs they won't do the surgery. So, I went to the dr yesterday and told her I need to do whatever we need to do to kick this FAST!!! She gave me a shot of Rocephin and a script for 875mg of Augmenton to be taken 2x/day. She says I should be just fine come Sunday so we will cross our fingers!! Still not feeling great today and been coughing junk up since 2am but better than yesterday :) Slowly but surely I'm getting there. So, anyway, about this being real...I thought I had like 22 days to think about this surgery, now I only have 4, yeah, that's right 4!!! It's ok though because like I said, I'm ready, BRING.IT.ON!!! Say some prayers and send some good vibes Monday people because I will take all I can get ;)
