Getting ready

Since New Year's Eve, I've been still working on recovering from this cold.  Today I finally feel like I might win the battle although I am still congested.  I am also back to work.  As I suspected, I totally flipped my sleep/wake schedule while I was off.  I got quite used to sleeping until 10 or 11:00 every morning and staying up until 1 or 2:00 in the morning.  So it is brutal getting up and working by 7:30....not to mention making lunch for Philip each morning.

But what is really on my mind is getting ready for my trip tomorrow.  I have quite the stack of medical records and paperwork.  I was getting pretty anxious about going through it and making sure I have everything I need so Johns Hopkins will check me in.  But I also wanted to organize all my records and put tabs on the important stuff so I could find it easily.  But last night, I got it all organized, copied, and ready to go.

The next step is to make a list of my questions.  I hope to work on that later today.  I also need to finish laundry and pack.

I won't lie.  I am nervous.  Very nervous. I suppose it is the fear of what they might say...what I might learn.  Nola reminded me that I need to stay focused on how important it is to learn more so I know what I am dealing with.  Maybe they will even have ideas that will make me feel significantly better.  I will try to keep my eye on "the prize".

I'm not traveling with my laptop so I am not sure I will blog about it until I get home.  But I will be home Friday and will check in once home.

Wish me luck.......
