Countdown

So I've managed to keep myself very busy today. Packed up the house and got everything settled at my mom's so we don't have to think about it tomorrow. I also went and had my blood drawn today for the BRCA gene test. I have to wait 2 weeks for the results which is just another part of this waiting game. I haven't given it much thought, no time to focus on something so far in the distance when I have tomorrow staring me in the face. I also managed a nice walk up to College from my mom's house and shopped (without success) for some button down shirts which I have one of (thanks to my dear mother in law) but need more of for the week or two after surgery since putting anything over my head will be painful. And last, and most importantly, I stopped for a cookies and cream ice cream cone - why not right?

I have to be at the hospital tomorrow earlier than I thought which is a good thing, let's get this ball rolling.

Be back again, on the other side of this hurdle...

  4. Shirts are over-rated, but ice cream is not.
    I say wear a bathrobe for the next two weeks.

    We will be thinking about you tomorrow!
