Surgery day tomorrow. My check-in time for the hospital is 7 a.m. Hopefully once they get started with the surgery, it will only last the 2 hours that they are planning, instead of the 5 hours that the last one took! Nothing to eat or drink after midnight - except I can take my pain medication with a small sip of water if needed.

Earlier today my parents came over to watch the partial solar eclipse with me and the younger 5 kids. It was neat, but not earth shattering! I'm glad I was able to purchase some solar glasses for each of us last week.

Tonight my parents came over again and DH and my dad gave me a priesthood blessing. I am holding together pretty well at the moment but am sad that I won't be here for the kids for their first days of school this week. Hopefully things will go well and smoothly for them and hopefully I will be able to come home Saturday! That is my goal. Well, wish me luck! I'll post an update as soon after my surgery as I am able.
