surgery is scheduled!

I am having my hysterectomy on March 29th! YEAH!!! I am looking forward to this day- though yesterday when they called and scheduled it I really freaked out. I guess scheduling it made it REAL, and I have never had a major surgery like that before- and never anything besides laproscopic cuts- even for my shoulder. It is very traumatizing to think of them cutting me open! Now I just have to figure out the recovery part and how to take care of the kids after Jim goes back to work. I have already informed my neighbors they will be on 'kid duty' especially keeping an eye on Sloane till Ethan and Cameron get home- now that is going to be longer because School hours have changed- it is 30 minutes longer now to make up for all the lost days from bad weather. Then there is picking Ethan up even later than that from Choir, taking him to Kyuki-do, and Cameron to soccer practice....LOTS to figure out! Then there is Finn- I am terrified she will jump on me. After they sceduled the surgery I also realized that is the day before Ethan's birthday :( I will be in the hospital for his birthday and that makes me so sad. I am sure he will be fine with it but I am not. Hopefully we can have his birthday party the weekend before- and I am hoping Jim will take Ethan to the AIDS walk the weekend after- I will just have to find someone to watch Sloane and Cameron while they are gone. I am disappointed I won't be doing that with him this year but I love that he still really wants to do it again!

Oh- and I am also getting my cyst ablation done next thursday- yeah!!! The cyst is so big now that it is pushing on my trachea making it difficult to take deep breaths and to swallow. I think it has actually bruised my trachea because it HURTS a bit. I really should be having the procedure done sooner than next thurs BUT the dr's wife just had a baby this week soooo I will let his wife have him this week. I am gonna give him a hard time about it when I see him though! LOL!
