It's a GO!

Well I came back from my Neurosurgeon appointment today with a date for my surgery. May 19th should be the big day! I was hoping to have the surgery a bit sooner (like the first week in May) but I guess this is good because it gives me more time to get things together. I won't have to rush so much when it comes to settling my affairs. Like I said before, I'm not a patient person but I'm guessing this is the plan god has set for me so I will go along with it!! It also works better for my Dad who will be helping to take care of me after the surgery. It's funny....when we went in today to see the doctor I was expecting to be extremely nervous for a date and time. However, I feel better that we are finally moving forward with this! It also sounds like the recovery for my surgery should not be very long. It should only be just a couple of weeks, because this is a minimally invasive kind of surgery (endoscoptic- through the nose) the recovery time is much quicker. Of course everything will all depend on how well the surgery goes!

I have to add that I really like the fact that ALL of my doctors are talking to each other! I can't state that enough!! Doctors need to talk to each other!! They can discuss whatever it is that they want to discuss as long as it correlates to my being healthier and rid of this tiny yet enormous problem!! I did not feel like they talked much to each other the last time I went through this (thus the calling off of my surgery the minute I walked through the surgery doors 2 years ago). So when I have seen each of my 3 doctors I stated to them that they needed to talk! Communication is the key to success!! Plus with everything that happened last time I do feel a bit better that they are communicating and are more accommodating to my needs. They know my situation and my progress in the adoption process. My Neurosurgeon stated today that he himself was adopted. So now he needs to really focus on getting rid of this little problem not just for me but for my future son! I am feeling good about this which I think is for the best. If I had any reservations I would be putting this off a little bit longer and I don't want to do that! Life is moving much too fast and I don't like that I have to sit and wait for life as it passes me by. So now that I have about a month until my surgery I need to get my house in order. I also need to call my Home Study guy to set a time to meet and hopefully get in one more visitation with the boy I am hoping to adopt! Just because I'm going to be having brain surgery does not mean I am going to stop with everything that is going on in my life. I plan on having an AWESOME summer with my future kid and know that I will be on the path to a much healthier life. As Pete the Cat says...."It's all Good!" Now to start making a list of things that need to be completed before I have surgery.
