Surgery Eve

Well this is it, my last day at school. Bittersweet for sure. I've already received some gifts from some kids, including a snuggie which is very cute. I'll miss my kids for sure. I hope they behave while I'm gone!

I almost told the people at Starbucks this morning that I wouldn't be in for awhile. They DO know my name and drink preference after all. But it was too busy so I didn't.

Packed up last night as best I could. Not sure exactly what I should take home with me. I know my parents and I will be going up to my apartment once a week or so probably, so it's not like I won't be able to get things I need. So I mainly packed comfy clothes -- sweatshirts, tee shirts, comfortable pants, slippers, my lined Crocs, etc.

Tonight I have to shower and scrub down with this iodine soap pack the doctor gave me. Have to do the same in the morning too. I remember doing that before I had my hip surgeries and thinking "this is the last time I'll see this part of my leg without a scar on it." In all honesty, I'm not that worried about the scar. I'd rather have a scar and an awesome knee than a bum, crooked knee with no scar. I will, however, miss this one scar I have had on my knee since I was about 10. I totally bit it on my bike and fell hard on the street and cut my knee up. I've had a little circular scar in the middle of my knee ever since. Oh well, good bye old friend!

I doubt I'll get a chance to blog tomorrow, but as soon as I am coherent and with it, I'll post my first blog from the "other side" :) Send me good thoughts tomorrow at around 10:30am Pacific time!
