Ute Scootin' Boogie!

What, I'm not allowed to make jokes?  Do you know me at all?!

Tomorrow, I am due to arrive at the hospital at 5.45am.  Yes, that noise you heard was me groaning.  That's effing early.  My actual surgery is scheduled for 7.30am so I'm really hoping they're going to be seducing me with fantastic pharmaceuticals between arrival and surgery times.  Both Mom and Dad are going with me.  Everything is being done laproscopic and I'm keeping my ovaries.  Doc is also taking some lymph nodes and if any of them look funky, the surgery ends and I go straight to radiation, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.  CT scan last week showed no funk so I'm hoping it didn't lie.  I'd really rather just have it all out now, ya know?

I'm going to give Mama Pants instructions on how to log in and post if she feels like it.  I'll probably be spending tomorrow night in the hospital (with my finger permanently on that pain-pump button cos--HELLO, awesome drugs!) and I've already told both of my parents to sleep at home in their own bed.  Hopefully they will, but it's not like I can do much if they decide to mutiny. 

I've removed my navel ring, my rook, and my anti-helix piercings.  I guess something in the equipment they use conducts electricity and the piercings can be a bad thing for that.  Hopefully I'll be able to get them all back in, but I'm not especially concerned about that.  The navel--whatever.  I wouldn't repierce that anyway; I don't have the lovely 20 year old belly I had when I had it pierced, not that I respected how cute it was then.  The two ear piercings, I'd probably eventually redo them if they close up.  Mama Pants just rolled her eyes, guarantee it.  At least it's not my tongue, Mom!  (I had my tongue pierced for several years.  She hated it just as long.)

I'm gonna be okay, y'all.  I mean, the first week will probably be a complete crapfest, but it's still better than the alternative, ya know?  Thanks for all your love!  It means more than I can really say.  <3
