Lap #3 March 16, 2009

I had my appointment with my endo specialist yesterday, and have officially booked lap #3 and excision of rectus abdominis lesion for March 16, 2009. The bad news is that I will end up staying over night at the hospital as well, so I plan on shelling out the extra cash to get a private room (vs the standard 4/room- yikes!) I don't think I could handle being with 3 other strangers recovering from their surgeries. I would be an anxiety nightmare, unless they doped me up with a lot of Valium, but I would rather not. She also recommends 2 weeks off work and life to recover, and 8 weeks before resuming all normal activities.

So at this point, it is just a waiting game until surgery. Hopefully the next 2 months will go by fast and the recovery even faster. Even though I have done this twice before, I still get nervous, so I hope everything goes easily and quickly.
