Weekend Fun

Being a teacher definitely has its perks!  Friday was a half day inservice and IT WAS BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE!  I went to lunch with friends, sat outside and talked and then spent the night out with friends.  It was a great Friday night.  I felt good and really felt like myself. 

Saturday, I didn't.  I was tired (yes, honestly, probably because I was up until the wee hours of the morning).  But, my whole upper, right side of my body was in serious pain.  That wasn't very fun.   

Today, there was an appraiser coming through the house so we had to be up and out early.  We got to go to a nice (okay, just a diner but still nice) family breakfast and then Mom and I went to IKEA for a little.  IKEA is one of my favorite stores however, the way I felt walking through it today you would never know.  I tried not to complain too much, but I would occasionally mention to mom, "I just don't feel like myself."  

I have been a bit worried about catching a cold.  The hospital told me that there is no way they will do surgery even if I have a common cold, so I am now in a "holy crap stay away from germs" mode.  Which is the opposite of my norm.  Not that I am out licking shopping carts, but I do spend each day with six year olds and not to jinx myself, but I haven't caught much from them.  I like to think of myself as a healthy person, you know, minus these headaches and all.  I just took a nap and woke up feeling much better and think that the "cold symptoms" were all in my head. ;)

We are off school again tomorrow for President's Day.  I have plans to go see a movie with a friend.  Tuesday, I have plans to go have dinner with a friend.  Thursday, I have plans to go to dinner with old coworkers.  Friday is my last day of school before the surgery.  This week is going to fly.  I can already feel it.  Good news is that I get to see lots of friends and it will give me very little time to dwell and worry.  Bad news is, I am going to go broke!

This morning I was in the shower, doing my normal routine and when I washed my hair I started to feel the back of my head where my scar will be.  I touch that part of my head about 30 times in the two minutes it takes me to wash my hair.  HOW THE HECK AM I GOING TO WASH MY HAIR?! 

When I was 12, I had surgery on my foot for tarsal coalition (extra cartlidge).  It was minor and I have had full relief.  However, I do have a scar on my ankle.  Many shoes that I try on have a strap that brushes against the scar.  Just typing it, I get a funny feeling in my stomach.  I hate when things or people touch my scar.  This scar I am talking about is no more than an inch and a half long.  How am I going to handle a scar that is six inches long and on my head!? AH!

Anyway, I know I will figure it out, but I feel like I should be allowed to have one freak out a day..and maybe as we get closer to the surgery two or three a day ;)  Sorry in advance!
