Well surgery this morning went very well. I was actually home by 9:30am, even before Tyler and Austyn woke up for the day! lol
I was in pain from cramping, but I went to sleep for a few hours and when I woke up it was somewhat better, so I ate something popped a Vicodin and went back to bed for a few more hours. I woke up when the kids came and said that dinner was done and I needed to eat something again. (they do look out for me when I'm done that's for sure). I got up and felt pretty good, though I am just wiped. The pain isn't bad at all anymore and neither is the bleeding (sorry if there's any guys out there reading this, but it's life! lol) Dr M said that I could have bleeding/spotting for up to a month, hopefully it won't be that long, but if it means never again after that...bring it on!
For those of you who read Heidi's prayer for me, well I didn't get the HOT anesthiologist, but that's okay I got a very nice lady and she took good care of me.
Anyway, just wanted to check in and let you all know that I am doing well. I will be hitting the sack here again soon though, even though I've slept more than I've been awake today, my body is just plain tired.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be pretty much back to normal.

Tomorrow is the day!
Tomorrow morning at 5:30am I have to be at ABMC for my surgery, which is scheduled for 7am! Yikes, that's early considering I am 45 mintues away too. Though I think at that time of day and if we take the expressway, we'll be okay leaving here at 5am. The boys have no school, so there's no need to worry about getting them out the door. I am kinda nervous about being put under, though the only problem I have is when I come out of it, I always just want to throw up! I always tell them to give me some Zofran before even bringing me out! LOL
Hopefully I get a good anesthiologist, preferbly the one who did my second surgery 2 years ago. LOL Let's just say that he should be a Dr on TV, not in real life...meaning he was HOT! LOL Yes Heidi, you know the one. I keep remembering what you said, about him being the last one I see before I'm out! hahahaha.
I love my friend Heidi, we've known each other for years and years...we've been through a ton of shit together and lost touch for a while, but I think that we both know that we'll always be there for each other. We've had some great times together and some not so great, but she's more like a sister to me.
Well I should be home around 12pm everyone's telling me and then I am sure that all I'll want to do is sleep the rest of the day, which is fine. I'll just crawl upstairs and cuddle with Phantom and Harley and sleep the day away. I am really hoping that after all is said and done with this surgery, my problems will be over or at least much much better. I have the utmost faith in my Dr and have known him for years as well. Heck, I worked for him when I was preggo with Tyler and he actually delivered Jacob! Yep, it's been a while and I totally trust him.
Well if you're so inclined, please just send a little pray up for me that all goes well and that I will be home and healing tomorrow!

Minor Surgery Coming Up
So on Feb 26th I will be having some minor surgery done. It will be done on an outpatient basis and I should be good to head back to school by Monday. So the Dr says. Please say a prayer for me that everything proceeds as it should. Most of you know what happened last time I went in for a surgery and ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks with some major complications!! It's my luck, but this time I will be fine, I know it. My Dr rocks!!
I just hate being put under a general. I always want to puke my guts out afterwards. Hopefully they'll load me up with Zofran before they bring me out of it! :-)
I am actually looking forward to having this done, since it should help with problems I have been having since my gastric bypass surgery almost 2 years ago. Mike will be taking me, though Tyler did offer to drive me there and home, well until he found out I have to be there at 5:30am and it's 45 minutes away! LOL gotta love kids huh? That's okay though, Mike is the one who should be there anyway.
On another note, I am very proud of Tyler. He's been driving now since the middle of October and he's doing really well. Most of my family knows how hard this was for me to come to grips with, and it's not becuase my baby is growing up, but rather because of the horrific passenger I am!! To sit in the passenger seat of a vehicle and not have control is VERY difficult for me. I have to say I have been doing very well though and have only yelled a handful of times since October! He's really doing well and will be a good driver.
Everything else on the homefront is good. We have a ghost here that the dogs can see, I swear, but it's nothing bad that I can tell. But they will stand and bark like crazy into an empty room and will NOT go into it, until whatever is there is gone. I thought Jacob was just being scaredy cat of being home alone when he told me that, but then I saw Harley do it one night by the kitchen. It was very bizzare.

Title of My Blog
Well as my blog title says, it's Time to Start Believing...in myself that is.
The title actually comes from one of my favorite songs by the Lovehammers. The title of the song is Find Your Way. If you haven't heard of the Lovehammers, check them out, they rock!!
http://www.lovehammers.com/
Anyway, I filled out the paperwork for new students at Waubonsee Community College for the nursing program. If I don't do this now, I won't do it so I figured that I just needed to "start believing" in me and do it. I am excited, nervous and scared, but mostly excited. This has been a dream of mine for over 20 years and I am finally doing something about it.
I am hoping to take 4 classes over the summer. 2 on line and 2 on campus. English 101 and Psych 100 online and then Microbilogoy and Anatomy and Physiology 1 on campus. Not sure if I'll be able to handle all of that but I'm sure gonna try. It will also depend on money as well. I am thinking that my unemployment is going to run out very soon and then I don't know what will happen. I will have to work and go to school I guess, but that will be VERY difficult for me. We shall see
