Surgery cancelled

Got some bad news today. They found something on my mammogram. My gyn has already seen the films and is very concerned based on where the mass is. He has scheduled a sonogram and an MRI to get a better look at it and figure out next steps. I have a lot of mixed emotions at this point, mostly scared about what the outcome of all this could be. My TT surgery has obviously been postponed for the time being. I've decided that this is going to be my last post here- my priorities and focus have changed so I want to say thank you, good luck and happy healing to all of you wonderful ladies.

Went for my pre-op testing and pre-admission paperwork today. No big deal, basically vital signs and two tubes of blood, then answering medical history questions with one of the nurses. Who, by the way, was a year out from her OWN TT with hernia and muscle repair, and was excited to share her story. I wasn't expecting her to be so supportive and reassuring and open about her own experience- and she was so excited for me on top of all that! I had been having kind of a crummy morning and felt rushed and stressed by the time I got to the hospital, and sitting and chatting with her really made a huge difference. It's funny how God puts people like that in your life just when you need them.
Have a few more things to pick up before surgery including Hibiclens to clean my belly with starting this Wednesday.

Any recommendations for a good brand of dry shampoo?? My surgeon uses drains and I can't shower until they are pulled, eeeeeyew, lol.

Busy day today! Ran errands, hit the gym, had a playdate with my youngest little guy and realized that two weeks from today I won't be doing any of that stuff. It's happening! I am nervous and excited all at once...and counting the days! No cold feet but it's finally starting to feel real. Then I got a call from my PS's nurse just to check in with me since I am TWO WEEKS OUT today (squeeeeel!) from surgery. Reminded me of the no-no's- no aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, herbal supplements, or vitamin E from here on out- and also to check and make sure I had called to schedule my pre-op testing at the hospital. Other than that... I've bought my supplies, rented a power lift/recliner chair, and my BFF will be coming to stay with us the first week to help with the kids and generally taking over while I am out of commission. So blessed to have her- we have no family here and none who are able to fly or drive in to help out otherwise. I am hoping that her being here will get me through the first/roughest stage of recovery. I had my gallbladder out almost two years ago and I remember that the first few days really sucked...hurt so much to cough, move around suddenly, etc. so I am hopeful that the TT with MR and hernia repair won't be too much worse than that was. Why do I have this crazy feeling like I'm forgetting something important??!? Also, the nesting has gotten a little cray-cray. Cleaned out my closet last night and made a drawer for post-surgery comfy clothes- all my favorite soft yoga pants, tank tops, jammie pants and granny-style undies- where I won't have to bend or squat to get them. I randomly started to put together shelves last night (by myself, because my husband didn't understand why it needed to be done right THEN, lol) to organize supplies in the basement. See, I told you the nesting around here's gotten a bit out of hand!
