My surgery date is now set. So between now and sept 5th I get to wait....and get nervous. Having been an LPN I know what could go wrong. I also know that I have one of the best neurosurgeons in the city. So getting nervous will be a waste of time. Tell that to my brain!!! But it is a relief to finally have a date so I can plan my life again. Now I have to survive all the friends who will offer and stop by to help. I have a nurses mentality. It is better to give than receive.......guess I will learn to get help for a change.
