Life in General

I got an A in my Psych class, I was pretty happy about that, a little proud too. I worked hard in that class and trying to get that great grade. So that class is done, my next class will be my CNA class in January. I have to skip the normal classes that I would take that quarter because of surgery, other wise I would have been taking Chemistry and Math, since those two classes didn't transfer. Oh wait, the only class that did transfer from college years ago, was English. Anyway, that is the school story.
My brother got here Thursday and we have been having a blast! We went Christmas shopping together only to learn he hates the mall, but went because I asked him to. What a great guy. I think he is enjoying the family life with us right now, during his 18 day leave from Iraq. He is staying through my surgery and leaving the day after. He didn't want me to go through all this without him coming to see me and help me through it. He always seems to give me courage that I didn't know I had. I wish he could stay longer, or just quit going back to damn Iraq. This is his third tour there after all.
My parents arrive on Tuesday to be with us for 11 days. Not much else to say about that. I am excited to see them. My mom plans on cooking and freezing plenty of food so that Matt just has to throw it in the oven.
After church today, I meet with a prayer group to pray over my surgery. That is very generous for them to pull this together for my sake.
I am also getting a free massage today, from a very nice lady. It is a long story and I don't care to write it all out, but it is very nice of her to do this.
Tomorrow, I have my pre-op appt. with the surgeon. Levi, my brother is going with me. After that, we are going to Jacob's school to surprise him and eat lunch with him. Then I do have to show up to work for a little bit at least.
Tuesday, I work a majority of the day wrapping it all up. I will leave early though since Mom and Dad are arriving. We are all to go out and eat "my last supper" sorta speak. Then home for Matt and Levi to shave my head. I think these boys are a bit too excited about this :) But, this way I have the control over my hair being gone, it won't be some nurse in the operating room taking it all. It will be my loved ones, having fun taking it off! They want to do a Mohawk first, take pic's, than they will shave it all down for the surgery. I will be bald. Weird to think that. It will be the shortest my hair has ever been. After surgery, I will have a bad ass 7 inch scar running down the back of my head. Some call them selves zipper heads after this surgery, because it literally looks like a zipper up the head. Will find out I guess.
I am photo blogging my whole experience. I will post pic's as soon as I am able. Of course it might be a little bit, I doubt I will be up to blogging when I get home from the hospital.
Anyway, this might be my last blog for a while. I will write again when I am able.
Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts sent this way, my whole family thanks you.

Take care for now,
Lu
