Thanks you guys. So many things that I wouldn't think of. I mean, geez, I forgot about school.
I will actually only be in the hospital 2 school days, as surgery is on Thursday, so I can see him off, I'll be leaving a little bit before he gets on the bus. And I will talk to him before bed. I don't want to promise to talk to him after school because, he gets home at 3:30, surgery is scheduled for 11. But being a gynological surgery, I could get bumped for a c-section. That is what happened with my hysterectomy. I ended up going in about an hour late. My doc needed to assist on complicated c-section. So, I may not be in a room or coherent by the time 3:30 rolls around. But by 8 pm, I'll at least be able to fake it on the phone with him.
My surgery is at the Children's hospital. Q was there to have his adnoids out and to the ortho clinic there. So he is familiar. I really explained quite a bit about what will happen to me. I explained about the IV and that they will give medicine through - make me sleep medicine, make me not hurt medicine and go away bugs! medicine. Being a single mom, he has gone with me to the lab for bloodwork in the past (I'm diabetic- every 3 months). So the needles in the arm really don't bother him. Thankfully the ladies in the lab let him stay with them while I pee in a cup. He still can't figure out how I do it!
I think that I will have to have him take care of my blankie for me. Yes, I confess, I'm 44 (as of today) and sleep with a blankie. So we tease about my blankie and his blankie. He knows that I'll be coming home for that. And maybe he will let me take Mr. Frank to the hospital with me to 'watch on me'. It's not the kind of Mr. Frank I'd like to snuggle up with
but the furry little build a bear will have to do.
