She's been having lunch or dinners with her friends. We had dinner Monday.
She should get her time for the surgery tomorrow.
Got meds for anxiety. Has had times of good calmness. Has hired an overnight nurse for the first night. Be in the hospital for 3 days (maybe an extra day if needed). Hire an aid for a few days when she gets home. So getting all the support she needs.
A friend will email us after she's woken up post surgery.
I've got an extra med to help me keep calmer so I can sleep the night before. I'm the above average worrier.
Thanks for asking.🙂
