It's a Date!!

At 2:15 today I got a call from Elise telling me that our surgery could be Tuesday, July 13th.  I didn't hesitate at all to say that sounded great!  So, the plan is to do the surgery on that afternoon.  My time in the hospital will probably be a few days.  I will then be off work for approximately five weeks.  Lonnie will have to stay in the hospital longer -- how long exactly will depend on how his recovery is going.  Hopefully he will have a relatively short stay as well.  I called Ginger this afternoon to let her know.  She told Lonnie that I wanted a date with him on July 13th and that I wanted him to wear a suit and tie.  He immediately said, "I suppose she wants flowers too!"  Well...of course :-) 

Once again things worked out great as my staff all has vacations planned starting that week and ending approximately 4 weeks later.  Now we won't have to worry about getting fill-in help from other areas of the clinic.  Also, the Nekoosa baseball tournament is scheduled for the weekend before my surgery, so I will get to go to that and help out with the weekend.  And I would be neglectful if I didn't mention that July 13th also happens to be my dear friend Lisa Lancour's birthday!

It is so great to finally have a date set in stone.  Now we can work on logistics.  Lonnie and I need to go together to Froedtert one or two weeks before the surgery for our pre-admission testing and to meet our surgeons.  I suppose that technically means the surgery will be our SECOND date! 

Thank you to all of my friends and family for your support, kind words, and love!  I couldn't do it without you!!

  2. Oooh, steak sounds better than flowers :-) Of course he doesn't have to get me anything -- I just like to tease him! And he gives it right back to me!
