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…
Get enough sleep (7.5 hours minimum) Train muscles that will help me maneuver after the surgery: legs, arms, abs Do cardio at least three times per week to keep heart in good shape Continue to eat a healthy diet – lots of fruits and veggies, dairy, fiber, and protein (mainly from non-animal sources) Have an…
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…
Okay, after a 5 1/2 hour drive, I met the doctor today. I could not have felt more comfortable. He brought us into his office and explained the problems and the fixes. He had a model of a heart, a tissue valve, and the Dacron tube they use to replace aortas with aneurysms. He explained everything…
We are up early and will be out the door by 7am. My boyfriend and I are headed to the city by the bay for our appointment with my surgeon. I slept amazingly well last night (aided by half of a benadryl and a long workout yesterday – yes I behaved for the most part).…

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.
