WOW! What a huge milestone! This is me patting myself on my back! Crazy!
I had a horrible sleep. I dreamed I grew my hair back over night. You would think that would make me happy, and at first it did, but I was teased by every person I knew once they saw me. They thought they were plugs. I spent the day defending myself. It was an exhausting dream.
This morning was mostly spent in a meeting. Meanwhile my inbox was filling up. Then I picked up the mail to find a $73,000 check from a tax refund. Uhmmm… Crap, this is not my check anymore since I sold the company. I really could have used that. How about that for a kick in the face. Of well, I can’t look back. I’ll get over it, it will take a few days/weeks, I hope…
Met with the surgeon today, waited for nearly 2 hours to see him. Apparently after the last procedure, the hospital should have automatically scheduled the rhizotomy. They told me that I needed to see my surgeon again, which I had to wait 2 months to see. Our health system is so messed. Now I have to wait again to hear when they’ve scheduled me in. It’s not going to be the most fun procedure, I can tell you that. It will however make for a good blog post.
I’ve been thinking about the bucket list I created a year ago and although I haven’t crossed anything off yet, I’ll be donating blood (12) on Wednesday for the very first time, volunteering at a homeless shelter (17) next week and I’ll be taking surfing lessons (28) in Maui in January. I might also have the opportunity to write a note with my contact information, seal it up in bottle and throw it in the middle of the ocean when I’m in Hawaii. I’ll guess have to think about what to write. Hmm.
