Before making the big move, I have to wrap up the working relationships I have with doctors from this area and transfer all of that information to new doctors that will be within actual helping proximity. It was agreed upon that I should go on ahead and have at least two surgeries done before the whole doctor switch-a-roo happens. So- Tomorrow! I had one last consult with the surgeon on Tuesday, and I'm having my gallbladder removed and a port-a-cath put in. This isn't my CarePages, so I'm going to try and avoid this getting all medical and detailed, but hopefully this will be all I need to have done (as far as surgery) for the immediate future. I knew this month before moving was going to fly by really fast, but this seems like warp speed.
Max's conclusion has been that doctor's offices are boring, and a good place to catch up on some sleep. He's doing really well adjusting to life at my parents' house with their two smaller dogs (Aubrey and Daisy) and cat (Ellie Mae). It might resemble a bit of a 3-ring circus with Daisy being afraid of Max, Aubrey making it clear that she is in charge of Max, and Max being scratched on the nose by Ellie Mae, but they all have been co-habitating well and insist on all sleeping together in one room- mine.
I'm told that it will take about 2 weeks to bounce back from surgery, so until then hopefully I can keep up with updating this on a semi-consistent basis.
In short:
Second step- Surgery tomorrow.
Edited to add more Max pictures per request ;)
(I see how it really is...)
He found himself quite handsome to look at in the fitting room mirror
at Kohl's while I was trying on some new clothes for Texas.
Best wishes on your surgery, Rachel. I'll be thinking about you.
