May 7. Whoo-hoo, coming right up. Today I met with Dr Desa, my surgeon, to see if he agrees with Dr. Weber that I'm surgery-ready, and he does, so we picked a date. Yea!
I was so looking forward to this consultation, and was in an optimistic mood about the whole thing...before I stopped by the library. I had some time to kill before the appointment, so I stopped by my branch to pick up some books that were being held for me...and ran into one of the employees that just happens to be in my Managing Collections class. I mentioned the surgery consultation and she said she had the same surgery last summer...and spent 5 days in the hospital...after losing a ton of blood. Eek. Good mood? Gone! But Dr. Desa assured me that the chances of this happening to me were slim and he'd never had that problem with any of his patients. Phew. But I could give blood at the Red Cross if I wanted to, to be on the safe side. Ack!
The good news about my surgery date is that Dr. Desa thought I'd be well enough by the 16th to sit through a class, so I can sign up for summer school! (Who'da thunk I'd ever be excited about THAT?) :)
