Getting ready

I am so lost as what to bring to my hospital stay. I am in the great position of having to prepare for surgery without any of the guidelines of the hospital. I will be 100 miles away from home when they tell me what I need, so I have to guess now. I have a robe and PJ's, socks and slippers, books, toiletries and myself. I have to also pack for Isaac and eventually probably for Tom. I really should have had all of this done now, but I am not sure I could have. I need to be pressed to get ready for someone to cut me open and cause me pain for a few weeks. It is hard to keep your survival instincts at bay. They are not rational, they are fearful of anything that causes harm, removes me from family.
I will be fine.
I have a good surgeon.
I need to not worry, not think too much about it.
Funny about the whole "don't over think it" issue. I feel like I am not in reality if I don't think about all the possibilities, but if I think about all of the possibilities, it scares the crap out of me. Should you be scared or removed?
So this will be the last entry for awhile (until I am back and able).

Wish me luck.
