I made my appointment at the pre-surgery clinic today. I have doctors appointments on Thursday and next Monday. Tuesday to get all of my work turned over to my backups. I am really excited, but also a little nervous. How can you not when you know they are going to cut into your neck and chest. And I am not that nervous about the surgery itself, but more the pain that is associated with it. I took a pain pill at work today and... nothing. It is very discouraging when you can't take anything that will help. Lucky for me, I only have a short time to deal with that.
