A little scared.. but the end is in sight.

So tomorrow I am having surgery. Kind of a shocker.. to me too. I kind of knew that this was in the future based on my recent test results but didn't expect it to be so soon. Basically I developed gall stones during pregnancy. This is actually a common thing from what I am learning. So tomorrow they are removing my gall bladder via laproscopic surgery. I have had laps before due to my endo so I have an idea what the recovery will be like.. just not will a 4 week old. Honestly, the idea of being put under is freaking me out this time. I have always know the risks but have never had this much to live for. If something goes wrong I leave my son without a mother.. scary shit!!!

Anyway.. so we head to the hospital at 10:30am tomorrow and the procedure will happen between 1pm & 2pm. It is a quick procedure and I will be home tomorrow evening. By Monday I should be good as new and the attacks should come to an end.. thank goodness.

I will try to update this weekend as I will be a bit groggy for a day or two. Oh.. and I only have to pump and dump for 24 hours.. not too bad.
