The waiting for the surgery that keeps getting moved is, at best, a little tedious. The surgery now is set for Monday, June 30, at 7:30 AM. Luckily, I believe, I am taking the wait better than Leon – for obvious reasons. I spoke to a friend of mine from Ohio in the whole doctor (I think I can call her that and not upset the AMA) and hospital business, and she said scheduling surgery can often be a major pain in the neck, so I shouldn’t worry about it, and that the doctor wants to get me in there as much as I want to get it done.
However, the wait eats away at you just a little, but then you get your act together and go on with what needs to be done.
Speaking of what needs to be done . . . Caren and I have used this event to get some things taken care of that we should have taken care of a long time ago. I was always ready to do it, but Caren didn’t want to do it so much, but she said, “It is time for me to put on my Big Girl pants and do this!” We sat down and each made a will, did Power of Attorney, and did a Medical Power of Attorney. If you have not done all of these yet, do so. It doesn’t take much time, and is easy to do. Admittedly, I am not expecting anything drastic to happen, but I just like to have all my bases covered. As Caren says on occasion, “Being a grown up sucks!”
You have to admit, she is kind of right.
