03-10-22 Aftershock Day

March 10, 2022

Today was like walking through mud. I didn’t sleep well, and I was up earlier than usual to be at the lab for when it opened at 7:30 to wait for my necessary ASAP bloodwork. I came away just short of an hour later with a wristband to wear until the surgery as my blood was typed and it will be brought in from the Calgary blood bank as far as I know. i have a C-antigen from a blood transfusion in the ‘80s and it has to be the same for surgery. I received a call to book the a anesthesiologist to call me a week before and the date is set for the 31st. I had some serious conversations with a few people who need to know, to ensure they will have coverage for payroll before the date and I have one more to talk to tomorrow. I made a strong man cry and my heart was filled with love from all directions. I had to notify the Board at the theatre that I am stepping away from the Tech Director position and that was hard. It is the best choice for all involved at this point. I was so tired all day and got what I had to done, coming home early hoping for a nap. That is not something my body would give in to so I just rested until Rae -Anne picked me up to go for dinner at The Firehall. I had way too many calories of a delicious dinner, a shared dessert and an expensive glass of wine. Hopefully it didn’t undo the good news that I am down 25.5 pounds as of today. I enjoyed our talk but am done in. It is only 8:49 and I am ready for bed so I will take the lead of my body and go. It was all too much to process and this is only the beginning. Once this shock has completely worn off I shall begin the positive affirmation journey I deserve. Stand by for more shmaltz in the future. For tonight, adieu.
