my last run for the next month or so…

4 10 2008

Wow, so this morning I am going to run for the last time for the next month or so. My surgery is in two days, 1 hr. and 45 mins. OMG!

I think I will run outside. That would be nice. I am not sure how I feel about not being able to run. I am always VERY, VERY busy with three children, all with their own schedules, and the usual running of the home and so, I can sometimes justify putting off my running - but knowing that I could run if I wanted to. But, not being able to run, not sure how I feel about that. I think I will be able to walk - slowly at first, but some movement is better than none.

I am scared about the anesthesia, hey, I am older and have kids. I am nervous that the surgery will go wrong and wont work out the way I hope. Then only have myself to blame for doing it in the 1st place. Then there is this side of me that looks forward to my husband taking over my hectic schedule for a week and I can just relax. How sick that it takes surgery to get a minute to myself, isn’t there something wrong?? I was literally cleaning the house until 12:00 p.m. last night. I have to finish the vaccuming this a.m., clean the goldfish’s tank, do a shitload of laundry, etc. All this so that while I am laying in bed for a week, the kids and my not so organized/neat husband can mess it all up.

Hectic, hectic schedule this weekend, which should distract me for the next few days. My oldest daughter has her 1st official gymnastics meet tomorrow as a competitive gymnast!! I am so excited for her. I am super obligated to her team as a “team mom” and have to work the meet all day. It should be a really fun event for our family. We have to be there at 7:00 a.m. and I will be there until the meet ends at 5:00-6:00.

Well, will log my run a little later, but I had all of this on my mind.

Well, rest well while you can. And don’t rush recovery. Your body needs that time to heal.

Thinking of you as I believe today is the day of your surgery! When you feel up to it, let us know how you are doing! Glad you got one last run in! And I know it’s hard, but do try and relax while you’re resting. It may be a long time before you get that chance again! Take care and hope everything goes well (and I hope the meet went well too!).
