Ok... I am getting nervous!

My surgery is scheduled for February 1st. Check-in is at 5:30am. I

am having LeFort I (2 or 3 piece). My OS asked if I wanted to have

joint surgery at the same time, but I declined since he said that

the outcome would be 50/50. My surgery was originally scheduled for

12/31/03, and my OS wasn't going to do the joint surgery at that

time because the odds were lower. I

I am worried about recovery because I no longer have a husband to

help me because we separated a month ago, but the truth is I know

that he wouldn't have helped anyways because he is very angry,

controlling, and abusive. When our son was born via C-section, he

made me come home the next day with staples still in so that I could

take care of the house, him, and the baby. AND of course all of our

friends were and are his friends so now I don't have friends to help

me. Luckily, my daughter is a mature 17 year old and is planning to

help me, but she will also be helping me take care of her 5 year old

brother and trying to maintain her school assignments. I am

thankful to have her. I am also thankful for my wonderful boss who

is planning to pick me up from the hospital and drive me home. I

hope I don't drool or throw up in her car... that wouldn't look good

on my next review :)

My major concern is that my husband will try to use my

surgery/recovery against me during the upcoming temporary custody

proceedings. That would be a low blow, which I expect from him

since he plays dirty. I just hope that he forgets that I am having

surgery or thinks that I cancelled it so that he won't bother me

during recovery, because I know that I need to remain positive for a

quicker, easier recovery.

I am so overwhelmed and preoccupied by the custody/divorce

proceedings that I can't remember everything I need to stock up on

for post-op. I know that I will need a white board,zip-n-squeeze

bags, ice, stories recorded on tapes for my son, but what else do I

need?

Thanks!!
