For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

F***. Only 3 days until I have open heart surgery...

I need to get to bed because I have to get up at 4:00 AM to get ready to drive to Mayo for my 1st appointment - a blood draw at 7:00 AM. Everything starts tomorrow. I have the blood draw (for which I am fasting), a chest X-ray at 7:30, and then an Electrocardiogram at 8:00. Then I don't have anything else until 1:45, when I meet with my cardiologist for the pre-operative appointment. On Thursday, I meet with my surgeon at 1:00. Then I check into the hospital at 8:30 on Friday morning.

So I'll keep this short tonight. I am so scared right now the only word that is running through my head is the word that stands for, "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge." (Betcha didn't know that one, did you?)

That's all I can think of right now. Frightening, huh? I feel like I'm losing my mind. And I can't take my beloved Benadryl tonight because of the dang blood draw. Oh well, at least this time when I wake up at 4:00AM, I won't have to worry about not being able to go back to sleep...
