idle musings

As I already announced on Facebook, my surgery has been postponed due to the equipment needed not being transported and sterilized in time. My original appointment was for February 26. They bumped me up to January 13 when there was a cancellation, and now, I am scheduled in for … February 26.

*sigh*

When I got the phone call yesterday afternoon, I didn’t know what to do. What to say. How to feel. For someone who is mildly agoraphobic, who does not like to be in situations outside of my control – suddenly the rug was jerked out from underneath me and I had no idea what tomorrow would hold.

So I went and ate carbs with one of my best friends.

After emotionally eating my way through poutine, a caesar salad, and baked lasagna, I felt much better and able to cope with my world turning upside down. I decided to take the rest of the week off work, and next week I am only working four days. Then it will be back to the grind until the end of February.

The silver lining to this cloud is that my paperwork had not get been completed for my short term disability claim, and now I have time to get that processed and all my ducks in a row. Continuing to get paid while lying on my couch is important to me!

Smoochies to everyone who took the time to send a note or write on my wall or whatnot. It’s always nice to feel loved, and I am emotionally storing the well-wishes for when it happens for real.
