Well . . . it's all going down tomorrow.

My Father-in-law is going in about 6AM tomorrow morning for his surgery. It will start about 8AM and will take about 4-5 hours. The good news is he doesn't have any underlying conditions (diabetes, heart disease, non-smoker) that would cause any complications. So he should come through it with flying colors . . .

But the thing that gets me (and him too) is that since it's a valve replacement surgery, they have to put him on a bypass machine and take his heart out of his body.

I've been a mess today. I thought I was doing okay . . . and then this morning I starting going through some of my common anxiety stuff.

I know he's going to be okay . . . but I can't help thinking (like I always do) . . .

What if?

Those are horrible words for an anxious, worrisome person like me.

I guess I'll just have to replace those words with . . . He'll be OK.

Easier said then done.
