I'm so fortunate that my parents live nearby and will be taking the kids for the day. I'm not sure how soon I'll be back on my feet and conscious (not just upright and awake but actually aware of what I'm saying and doing). My mom has invited us to have dinner at her house - which I truly appreciate. I'll be in no shape to make my own dinner. That said, I'm very much afraid that I will be so exhausted from lack of sleep, anxiety, early morning wake-up, surgery, anesthesia, and what-not that I'll be more interested in sleeping it all off than attending a social gathering - even if it's just dinner at my parents' house. Maybe they'll give me some kind of pain medication so I won't have to worry about it. I sure will be glad to get some real food back in my belly again.
So, here's to uncertainty! I'm off to drink more water.
