Yup - that sums it up! I can't believe it is FINALLY here! My surgery is tomorrow.. I'm getting a little scared now... I know I have done everything I can to prepare for this, but now that it is REALLY here, it kind of blows my mind.. I am also nervous that some friends of mine who have had the bypass have told me that they were in the hospital for 5 days.. My Dr. tells me I will go in tomorrow and come home Thursday... Maybe I should be there longer, or will I just want to come home so I can sleep, un-poked every 1/2 hr? I dont know, but will find out..
   I also have to say that I am grateful for everyone at OH.. I was unable to post much, but that was because of LONG work hrs (I am a supervisor in a packaing plant) and exhaustion... I am hoping that once I get home, I will be able to connect with some more folks since I will have at least 3 weeks off.. Speaking of that... When I first started the process, I thought that they said I would be out 3-4 weeks.. When I had the final consult with my Dr., he said 4-6 weeks... Not having any time off benefits, I hope it will be closer to 3 weeks!!!
 Well... Here is to the new me. Hopefully, the transition wont be so bad. I know whatever happens, it will be worth it to feel better, be healthier, and have a new outlook on life!!
  I might write more as I am sitting here watching the clock for tomorrow...  If anyone is reading - I hope I didnt bore you. I am new to this blog thing. :-)

Ok.. so this week has been ANOTHER 50+ for me at work.. I'm tired.. I work in a production plant/factory and the work is hard and dirty. I am a supervisor and it's a lot of work.. The building is ancient. My production room is small and I have 2 main types of packaging.. Well, one of the types of packaging is expected to grow - a LOT pretty soon and we need to try to find more space for it. They cleared out a room on the 2nd floor (I am on the first). My boss - the VP of manufacturing, was discussing moving some of the smaller jobs that we do to the 2nd floor.. He said that it would make more work for me because I would have to be going up and down the stairs a lot, but (& here's the kicker) "you need the excercise anyway"... I was blown away to say the least.. Now, he is normally pretty crass, never happy, always yells, and is basically pretty miserable anyhow, but I did not expect that... All I could do was look at him and say "WOW"... I looked to see if he was joking and he wasnt cracking a grin.. It really upset me a lot.. I mean, I know I am overweight - ok.. fat, obese, whatever you want to clarify it as, but I did not think that was coming... Yes, it's true that I do need the excercise, but I dont think it was ok to say that to me.. If you see a black person, you dont go and make a "n" comment... There is a part of me that says I shouldnt be upset because after all, the guy IS an a** anyhow, but still.. I dont know what to do.. I have had issues with someone else there as well and did report it, but I dont want to be seen as a crybaby... I know it's production and not a clean, white-collar enviornment and I should not expect it to be prim and proper. I dont, but to have it come from my BOSS who is also the VP, really struck a cord.. I told one person what he said and she was suprised, but not floored - again, general concensus that he can be a real butt head.. I told me daughter who was suprised as well. I did not tell my husband. Dont know why.. He hates me working there as it is. I would love to find something else, but I want to have my surgery first..
   So.. I dont know.. Dont know if anyone will even read this, and it doesnt matter if they dont. I just wanted to get it out of my system.

Anyone know how to make background colors?? Mine just seems so BORING right now!

Ok, well, I have been going thru the approval process for surgery for a couple of months now. I still have 6 to go however since that's when I got signed up for the manatory 6 mo. "I can change" program. I am going to try to use the time to learn as much as I can, and to try not to get too frustrated that I cant have the surgery more quickly.
   Not sure how to set this blog thing up, but here I go!
