Living the New Normal

For the first time in more than two years I purchased a bra. It isn't pretty, there's no fancy lace or sexy satin. This is a post-operative sports bra required for my surgery next week. It's pretty exciting.
I have to admit it was a little challenging, after all, what size do I purchase?
I finally had to email the doctor's office to ask. I ended up with a C, my new girls may be a little smaller, but with swelling, dressing etc. I thought it would work.
Today was my pre-admission clinic at the hospital. I had my blood taken, my blood pressure checked, met with a nurse, the anesthesiologist and had an EKG.
I'm ready to roll.
On Monday I have an appointment with the surgeon where he'll make markings to help him during the surgery.
Then, bright and early Tuesday morning, I'll be at the hospital where I'm scheduled for surgery at 8 a.m. It's a seven hour surgery and I'll be hospitalized for two or three days before coming home. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly and by the weekend I can be in the country and do most of my recuperating there. I expect I may have to come back to the city for a check-up between Christmas and New Year's. I'll know more next week.
