Today is my husband’s surgery, and I am up before the alarm is set to go off. I’ve been laying in bed but thought I might do something semi-productive with the time. This is not unusual for me. I have a thing about waking up early on days when something important is going on: Christmas morning, the morning of the first day of a great vacation, and oh yes, the morning of major medical procedures. I normally love to sleep in but cannot today. I’m nervous. Who wouldn’t be? My poor hubby has to have surgery on a very delicate area of his body. I hope he’s not in too much pain afterwards. I’m also nervous about what the Dr. will discover. Will our next step be reconstructive surgery or IVF?

On a more positive note, we got back from our trip to San Antonio yesterday. We weren’t too impressed with the city itself but had fun nonetheless. It rained quite a bit Sunday, but yesterday was gorgeous. We went up to the observation deck of the Tower of the Americas, and the view was awesome. It wasn’t very busy on a Monday morning, so we got to enjoy the view without pushing by other tourists. All in all, it was just nice to get away and not worry about the whole surgery thing for a couple of days.

Well, there goes the alarm. I’m off to get ready.
