Yes, friends, it is almost that time again. Time for me to go under the knife and share all of my business. You know you've felt a void in your life over the last year. Infrequent updates, minimal oversharing and not enough humor here on the blog. Ew, that just doesn't even sound fun.
As promised, times are about to change. It seemed so far away but the big day is almost upon us. The first surgery of 2016 is upon us and that means I'M BAAACK!
Today I made the trip to the hospital to finalize my registration and for pre-admission testing. This is really happening. We are now within 12 days and things will happen quickly from here. I have to wrap things up at work, get everything organized and ready for my leave, and get things set at home. Mix in additional doctor appointments and life in general and it's going to be crazy for a few weeks. I'm still not thrilled about 2 surgeries in less than a month and spending 8+ hours under general anesthesia but, hey, there's always a new challenge to face.
The thought of this leave is really different for me. The last time, I was focused on getting through surgery and treatment and, well, living. This time, it's not life or death (hopefully) but it's not really cosmetic either. It's about starting the process of feeling somewhat whole again. I'll be tested again, but in a different way. It should be an interesting journey.
Oh, how I missed you.
Love to all,
Andee
