Despite the ice we got last night, along with the snow we got early Monday morning...I made it to my NUT appt and Dr. appt this morning. The kids didn't have school today because of the ice but my daughter stayed at my MIL's. So that worked out great.

I have 7 more days until my surgery and I am both excited and feeling a bit anxious. I will be staying busy this last week so that will help.
