Quick update!

Everything went off without a hitch today. I thought surgery was cool. Had some fun chatting with the staff, I think they appreciated having someone friendly and relaxed in there. I bounce back really quick; I woke up as they pulled the tube, looked around, and realized that I was dizzy. A few moments later, I started talking and sitting up a little and looking around.

I got crackers, chocolate, and juice afterwards. I demolished it.

Got to spend some time watching more Paramedics and Trauma: Life in the ER yesterday. I'm not sure it's helping - I'd started watching it to see if I was really sure, or if this stuff would just freak me the hell out. I'm completely enthralled.

I'm going to be putting out some feelers this week; I'm starting to lean towards a higher paying job with no benefits, and simply get on my husband's benefits (which are quite good). I'm considering contract work, even, but it would have to pay more than what I'm making at my current job. I'm pretty sure I could get subsequent contracts, but on the other hand, I'd basically be a temp and that thought is a little scary. If it gets me closer to getting out of this horrible pit of debt, though, I'm all over it.
