Just Time for an Update

It's been a while since I've updated so I thought it was to catch everyone up on what has been happening.

Health

This just continues to be so much "fun". Between Melissa and Dr. Vogel (GYN), I am now trying to quit smoking again. Pretty much I need to quit before I go get "gutted". Dr. Vogel tells me that is really my only risk for the surgery. Surgery - you are wondering?! Yes, I am going to be scheduled for a hysterectomy. I am just waiting for them to call me back and let me know when it will be. I am actually looking forward to this, even though I hate having to be in the hospital. It will mean the end of the problems I've been having for about a year now. Because I work from home and I do a desk job he tells me I will most likely need only a couple of weeks off from work. I'm thinking, maybe 3 or 4. I'll see what I can convince him to give me. I don't want to go back to soon and get run down. It will still take the same amount of time to completely heal (6 weeks, tops 8 weeks). I just won't miss a lot of work. Work will be happy and I won't get bored sitting around with nothing to do.

The only time constraint I put on scheduling the surgery is, I will be cruising from May 20th - May 27 and the surgery can't interfer with my vacation.

The cruise is booked, the flights are booked. Robert and I are going to the Southern Caribbean. Some much needed time together and stress relief.
Robert came down this past weekend. It was great to spend time together, be able to talk in person, just be together. We looked over the shore excursions and tried to narrow them down to what we wanted to do. We didn't quite get there but we got close. We'll try to get them figured out before the cruise so I can book them ahead of time.

It was tough dropping Robert off at the airport this morning knowning that I'm not going to see him until we go on the cruise. At least the cruise is less than 2 months away. It's time to start that packing list and to go out and buy any of those items that we will need. I started that already today since I don't want to buy them all at one time.


For now - that's it. It's almost time for bed since morning shows up faster than it should and tomorrow is a work day.
