What day of the week was your surgery?

I received my approval letter and am trying to coordinate the best days with my family and husband. I'm hoping for a Friday, husband doesn't think it will happen.

I'm sure all places are different across the states, but tell me your day!

If I do a Friday, husband takes off work, works Saturday while I'm recovering in hospital, then he has Sunday and Monday off to get our kids to school. By Tuesday I'm sure I will be just fine serving Breakfast and getting them ready for school and driving them 3 miles then coming home! I really hope it's a Friday. I plan to do everything perfect and push myself so I'm only off for 1 week. I'm a literacy tutor and I walk to class rooms every 30 min and walking around teaching stuff while in the class room! Seems like some good walking time!!

Ok got someone to block out 2 weeks for me. All depends on when I get to have the surgery of course.

She asked me what I was doing and I told her I was having surgery. She asked me for what and I simply told her that only my husband and dad know- then she hugged me...... My room knows I will be soon starting a new way of eating, I just told them low carb an high Protein. I usually eat lunch in the lunch room with my girls, ill just drink shakes and such now instead of big bowls of salad or hot lunch!

My surgery was on a thursday, came home saturday (was ready to go home friday, but because I lived 3 hours from surgeon, he chose to keep me an extra day). Monday I was picking up my, then 20 month old, baby and by Wednesday was driving my other 2 girls to school. I didn't bring laundry baskets up from the basement for another 10 days, but that was mostly because I was milking it for as much help from the hubby as I could get! LOL I think you'll be fine if you can get them to schedule on a friday, my surgeon did monday, wednesday or thursday surgeries.

Good Luck!
