Charging the battery and my mind

La, la, la, it is here!!! Battery is charging, and I am devouring the instruction manual.

While I wait for the battery to fully charge, I have a public service message. If anyone wants to keep me on their blogroll, you might want to change the link, if you have not already done so, so it will click to this site. I am shutting down my Typepad site no later than November 1st. I refuse to pay for 2 sites, so Typepad must go.

2 Weeks to go to Quinn’s surgery. I have been keeping busy with lots of crafts and such, to keep my mind off of it. Up until last night, I have been successful….if a thought crept in, I would shut it off. Yesterday, I made the reservations at the hotel where we will be staying, and the flood of worrisome thoughts exploded in my mind. Last night was terrible. I was in bed, eyes wide open, imagining him intubated on a surgical bed, having his leg cut open. I let out an audible gasp, then a whimper. I am so pathetic.

I discussed it with my best friend today (she is a doctor), and she said she will prescribe some low dose valium for me to take before and during the surgery. I normally do not take stuff like that, but in this case, she is 100% correct, and I will follow her advice. Quinn doesn’t need “Mommy the Spaz “, he needs “Mommy the Rock Calm Soother”, and that is what he will get.

Can we just fast forward to November, please?
