Tomorrow morning I'm having surgery on my neck to clean out some bone spurs, take out some bad discs and "unpinch" some nerves. In the process 3 of my vertebrae will be fused together. I should only be in the hospital overnight then I plan to stay with my mother for 3 additional nights because it's hard to explain to a two year old that they can't jump on you, pull on you, ram into you, hang on you and wouldn't be picked up.
Even though it's fairly routine surgery, just the thought of "going under the knife" is enough to make me consider my mortality. I know it's my nerves getting to me, but I love my family so, so much. I sure hope to be around for many years to support and bug, I mean hug, them all!
