Less than 48 hours to go

I have been doing quite well with the stress and anxiety. I am a Girl Scout and about as prepared as can be :-) THEN.....last night I realized how challenging it is going to be to get in and out of the shower. If it was just a stall it'd be easier, but I have to get myself over the tub....on one leg...and balance on crutches. I obsessed over this trying to fall asleep last night then had lots of stress dreams about the whole event, even actually thought about the risk of death just from the anesthesia....totally out of character for me! Tonight I am going to do a little dress rehearsal on getting in and out of the shower. I don't care how crazy it seems, I figure it is better to have a trial run while i am functional and not in pain or on pain meds. 

I am excited for this to be a distant memory, when I can laugh at how I obsessed. I just need to focus on the fact that I have about 6-8 days worth of mom-made meals in my freezer, including Green Chile Stew! There have to be some perks to something like this, and if it's not homemade meals by mom being shipped 1,500 miles, well then I just don't what it could be =)
