Okay, body, we have one thing left to do...

[thistlechaser]

My last big pre-surgery task is to relax. Don't stress. Sleep. The problem is, whenever I get really stressed, I get sick. If I get sick, no surgery. So I'm going to try not to think about it. Be zen. Make meditation noises. Ummmmm Ummmmm.

Unfortunately I got a bad start. My sinuses were bothering me last night, so I lost too many hours of sleep to a headache keeping me awake. I've been short on sleep for weeks now, so I must catch up. (This weekend is Labor Day weekend here in the US, so hopefully that will help.)

I can't believe how little time is left.

8/29 (Friday) Lab work and EKG (Before work, hopefully it won't take too long and I won't be too late. No idea how long an EKG takes.)
9/1 (Monday) Labor Day (off)
9/2 (Tuesday) Class and appointment with surgeon (PTO day from work)
9/8 (Monday) Car to dealer -- probably half-day of sitting there (can't be put off, unfortunately)
9/12 (Friday) Mother flies in (2:30 PM)
9/15 (Monday) Surgery -- unknown time.

Unrelated, I'm finally replacing my computer monitor. The game I play (FFXIV) has a day/night system, and at night I'm basically blind because it's so dark. My monitor is 10+ years old, so it's probably the reason why. I bought this one, which is due to arrive tomorrow. Can't wait!

ooooh, that is one SEXY monitor!

I'm so excited for your final steps on this surgery! But if it's 2 weeks away, that leaves you with two weeks to master the whole no-stress thing :)

I'd say read one of those massively thick books that will take you FOREVER to finish, so your mind will just be on that... Ulysses or something... that's one of my bucket list books. Not sure if it's one to look forward to or not, haha.

If your sinuses are bugging out, go out for sushi! It's healthy, delicious, and the wasabi will clear those sinuses in a flash!

Heh! I hadn't thought about wasabi, I bet that would do the trick. :D

Can't wait to get my hands on the new monitor! I bet it'll look so much better.

Thanks for all the advice!

The new monitor is going to be so awesome! I remember when I bought a new graphics card about 2 years into WoW and I was like OH MY GOD YOU GUYS THE WATER IS TRANSPARENT. All my friends said, "How did you tell if there were murlocs in there?"

The answer was I DID NOT, I was ALWAYS AMBUSHED.

Hahaha. That's how I feel running around at night. "How do I know aggro mobs are around? Well, they'll just start attacking me." I can't even see WALLS AND TREES AND SUCH, I have to use the minimap to get anywhere.

I had an EKG last week...the procedure as such, without waiting times etc. takes all of 5 minutes :)

Oh great! Glad it's fast.

Good luck with everything!
