9/5/2016 0 Comments Final CountdownI am EGG-static (see what I did there…very punny!) We are four days away from surgery. Who would have ever thought that someone could be so excited to have their insides probed? We had our IUI June 11th and found out June 26th it didn’t work. That’s over 10 weeks of living in the unknown with no real plan. It’s been over 5 weeks since we originally scheduled our surgery. Time has been slowed down enough to make a snail grow impatient. But there’s finally a light at the end of the tunnel. I know there are more tunnels ahead, but I'm ready to get out of this one.
I thought I would be scared. I think the only thing I’m afraid of right now is getting a fever the day of surgery or having something else that will make us have to reschedule the surgery. My hormones have been all kinds of out of whack so last week I was really nervous we were going to have to reschedule. Minus some major stomach cramping, everything seems to be normal now. I’m sure that once we are in the hospital and it’s really real, I will probably be very scared. So, I’m going to ride out this excitement train as long as I can. I’m beyond ready for a real plan. Even with the first IUI, it didn’t feel like a real plan since we know something is wrong with my Fallopian tubes. Everything so far has felt like small steps, but this feels like our giant leap. Even if the surgery does nothing but bring us peace of mind, at least it will do that. No matter the outcome of surgery, we are going to have a plan. I’m hopeful that whatever is wrong is fixable, but even if it isn’t, we still have IVF as an option. I’m anxiously excited to find out the results. My brain constantly keeps rolling through each scenario. I’m really looking forward to this week. I have today off from work for the holiday. Tonight, I’m going to watch my husband’s curling game and on Wednesday we are going out for a nice dinner. We have some friends visiting the area from out of town. I’m hopeful we can see them before the surgery. I’m so thankful my surgery is first thing in the morning and not later in the day. I’m not sure if I’m actually the first surgery or not but hopefully they won’t be too behind. I really, really hope this week goes by as fast as I want it to! In the great words of Tom Petty, “You take it on faith, you take it to the heart. The waiting is the hardest part.”
