Yes, my date is the 23rd of January! Just a little over a month away. I am very scared but looking forward to being on the other side. I am lucky to have paid sick leave from work. It seems kind of perverse to look forward to an invasive surgery and hard recovery, but I am looking forward to the break from work if nothing else! I work at a library it'll be easy to load up on DVDs, books, and audiobooks. I am also planning to knit a sweater. I feel that winter is probably a good time to have this done, I live in a cold climate so everyone is always cooped up anyway. The downside is that I probably won't want to go out for a walk, but I'll make an effort to at least walk to the store once I'm ready.
My boyfriend of 4 years will be taking care of me. I'm wondering at what point we'll be able to sleep in the same bed, since I'll have to be propped up and I also feel like I'll be kind of gross. Is your fiance sleeping in bed with you? I'd like to know what my boyfriend should expect since he'll be sleeping on the couch otherwise!
