12 Days Post-Op Update

Praise God!  I am FINALLY, somewhat, getting my voice back!  Today was the first day that I did not have to strain as much to talk!  Definitely a blessing since I had to go register Corky and Dizzie for the elementary today.  Baby Girl will get registered at the high school tomorrow, and I don't have to do anything for Princess and Bubby since they will be at the middle school.  Between physicals, registrations, getting shoes and school supplies, and everything else that goes along with it...August is my most dreaded month of the year! This year is special one though...my oldest "baby," Baby Girl, will be a senior in high school!  Where did all those years go?

Do I Get Your Paycheck for Doing Your Job?

I had been trying to give the ENT surgeon's office some credit, since they have not overly impressed me much throughout this...aside from the surgeon's skills, which are absolutely awesome!  (Other than that, I feel they lack most foundational people relation and customer service skills.)  I know "mistakes" happen, but I have to wonder why they always have to happen to ME!  Here I sat today, five days before surgery, and no one had called or mentioned my pre-op blood work.

I called the phone nurse and she looked for proof an order had been sent to the hospital or directly to me, to no avail...since no order had ever been written up!  I feel that I have done more of these people's jobs than they have sometimes...except the surgeon, of course.  I can't dog on the man who is about to slice my neck open for the second time!  :)

Catch Up

On Sunday, it seemed like this was going to be a very long week...but it's already Thursday evening! Where did it all go?  I know why time is flying by.  Because my surgery is going down in 13 days!  Ahhhh!  It seems so soon, but I know I just need to get it over with.  I'm not scared of the surgery so much as I am the procession of events that are to come afterwards. 

I go to see my endocrinologist 4 weeks after surgery, at which time we will discuss the radiation uptake scan and possible iodine radiation.  That is the part that scares me!  Lol!  However, I'm looking forward to getting the next "hard part" out of the way. 

I've been trying to take it easy the last couple days.  I got out a couple times to go visit with friends...once with the younger 3 and once with none!  How often does that happen?  :)  Being broke and the temperatures and humidity being so high will probably keep me in the house for most of the weekend.  My fibro has been attempting to flare a few times the last couple days...I'm sure I'm in for another long weekend.  But, it will be Monday before I know it.
