Mitchell's Journal

Anxiety high. Trying to get as much details done before surgery. Again family and friends are a great support system during this time. Thanks Today is my last day at work, and expect to be back to work 8-12 weeks. I am going to take my time recovering before getting back to the daily life stress.

Today my son birthday,22 today. I was scheduled to have surgery this day but postponed it to July 29, as I didn't want to ruin his day. Day is one more day closer and getting more anxious, but that is normal I have heard. Family and friends are being very helpful and understanding, probably couldn't do it without them. A week from today I can look back at this week and say to myself , glad it's over and time to move on. I will be leaving for Pittsburgh this Sunday and getting ready for Tuesday. I will have to start my preparation from cleansing to fully stop taking my medication in which that was started 10 days ago, to several others precautions. My siblings will be arriving to this Sunday late afternoon as well. Be happy to see them all.

One more day closer. Trying to keep positive attitude. Also trying to get the last minute details issues taken care of as well. Family support has been great as with my friends. My youngest daughter (Jaelynn) has been great to me, always asking me if I am okay and what can I do for you Dad. I will miss her during my time in the hospital since it be better to keep her life status quo, as we live two hours from Pittsburgh, along with my other kids. who have their own lives and responsibility's.
