Three days from now, I should be in surgery. While I have the occasional catastrophic thought, for the most part I still feel very confident that all will be fine. My two biggest worries right now are getting to the pre-op appt on time (avoiding getting stuck in California traffic jams) and pain. We are…
I woke up this morning…yes, I slept pretty well again last night with the help of diphenhydramine. Anyway, I woke up this morning with the sunrise and it occurred to me that there are only 4 days until my surgery. It startled me a little. Why does that sound a whole lot closer than 5…
Today’s post is a bit less focused. I think it is because I am less focused. If you read yesterday’s musings, you know that I am not sleeping well. Unfortunately, last night was worse. While the gentle rain and cool breeze made for optimal sleeping conditions, I awakened at 12:11am – fell back to sleep…
The mania and obsessive-compulsiveness hit over the weekend. I got an amazing number of things done. In fact, I did everything I intended to do and still had time to watch some television and go out for an anniversary dinner. Yesterday morning I continued to feel pretty wired. This is all made even more interesting…
As the days pass and the day of my surgery approaches, I am faced with a dilemma. However, while others will hopefully not face the same situation, many may find themselves in a place or time where they must face similar issues. I have indicated that I will likely be away from work for 6…
I don’t know what others do in the last few days before STAAR surgery (surgical thoracic aortic aneurysm repair), but I am occupied with a variety of things. Yesterday I completed my will, a power of attorney, and a power of attorney for health care (also known as advanced directives). I have always disliked this process,…
(disclaimer: I am neither qualified nor attempting to endorse any supplements or combination of supplements in this post) Today is the last day of the month of August and 12 days from my surgery. It is also the last day of non-prescription supplements for me. Although the doctor said I did not have to stop…
I tend to worry about things. I know, I am a psychologist and I know better. However, that does not stop me from worrying about all sorts of things. So what am I currently worrying about? 1. Getting things done in the next 15 days (two weeks from tomorrow we leave for California and won’t be…
So here we are, 24 days until my surgery and most of the things I am worrying about, trying to get done, and planning are related to others rather than to me. For instance, making sure that all of my duties at work are covered and my patients will have back-up therapists. Other examples include,…
Note: In case you did not notice the countdown clock, my surgery is now 25 days away. During my meeting with the surgeon this week, we asked about future workouts (i.e. lifting weight) and he told us that I should be able to return to lifting weights, but not to the extent that I close…

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.
