23 hours and counting

In less than 24 hours I will be at the hospital, within the surreal experience of surgery. I am not really excited about that. I know I will lose large chunks of time and be fuzzy about even more, and that never is a comfortable feeling for me. I have been repeatedly warned that the recovery is difficult, and that isn't a good feeling. However, if it means I can go shopping and not have to stop every 20 minutes or so, that is well worth it.
