There are so many things to do to prepare G, DH and myself for decompression. Given the prolonged recovery, I want to get her in to the dentist, eye doc, and all the other normal follow up visits she needs for the fall.
The rest of the time will be spent in pre-op bloodwork, pre-op exams, one more MRI, Pre-Op Surgical Class/Tour, FMLA Red Tape, Packing, Getting the house in order for our return, making Ronald McDonald House/Hotel reservations. Goodness Gracious, I'm sure there is a ton of other things that I'm not listing!
Pre-op bloodwork is complete. I couldn't sleep the night before because G freaks out with her flu shot. This would be a disaster, I just knew it. Once we get to our local pediatric floor they give me the wonderful news that they have some numbing cream they can use at the draw site. It worked wonderfully. G was still a nervous wreck, but the nurses were great and were very patient with her. I think playing one of her favorite movies, Frozen, in the background helped tremendously too.
Now, I plan to dive into the FMLA paperwork and process. Wish me luck. -SCM
