Not laying off the caffeine anytime soon, 'cause guess what happens when you're wired on the good stuff?? You get the whole "Chop chop!" thing from my previous post. Uh huh, yep, you bet'cha, yes sir, oh yeah, wouldn't lie to ya. AND I brushed my teeth first.The GAP; it no longer holds power, not even in it's name because the GAP no longer exists. I'd show you but some moron (namely me) has to charge up the camera. I know. You're disappointed. Hence poor-substitute Clip Art.
I got those molds taken, surgery wires in and was admonished not to hurt anyone with my enthusiasm (Okay, that last part is fabrication of sorts~ he told me not to get too excited yet...spoil sport). I'm allowed to injure innocent bystanders when I get the call from 'His Eminence' confirming our notion that all systems are go.
Given the rapid pace of the GAP's sudden closure, dear Ortho wants everything held stable for 8 weeks irregardless, so it's not like Operation Jigsaw is tomorrow. It DOES mean there's a good chance it'll be this Spring. Lalalalalala~ Doing the (minor victory) happy dance.

Yay for Kate!! Spaces have no business in ones mouth and you'll be rolling into that surgery room before you know it! Hey...you have anymore of the good coffee????? Love Ya!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! thank you! THANK YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm brewing a fresh pot just for you *hug*
Yippee Kate! I say go for the enthusiasm! We all need some good news and this is IT as far as I'm concerned! Celebrating with you... brew a cup for me, too. Hey, Michigan isn't that far from Cananda! I flew to Sioux Lookout a few years ago to do a seminar... are you closer or farther from Michigan than that???!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what the minor victory dance looks like....hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteLemme give you a 'W00t' and a 'what! what!'...I'll even include a 'raise the roof!' for good measure! Good news all around, I see. For some reason, I thought you already had your surgery. I'm a doofus.
Elaine, I'll just put on a fresh pot! Everyone's invited ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how far, really. I guess that depends where in Michigan you are. I'm not too far from Toronto: 4+ hours from Detroit, but MUCH farther from Sioux Lookout, 20 hours away, anyways. You were in North Country!
The minor victory dance. Okay George: Picture a Weeble-Wobble, on a PoGo stick, on bumper cars (and contrary to the toy's longstanding reputation, I DO fall down), being chased by.... Nah. On second thought perhaps I'd best leave the rest of it to the imagination. But think of a MAJOR victory dance...
Haha Doofus! Then I'm a doofus too, 'cause in my dreams I've already had it too :)
I am so happy for you!! And life is so much greater with coffee. I don't know why anyone would want to give it up.
ReplyDeleteYou are so smart and funny - and make this journey so much easier :)
Be enthusiastic! I'm being enthusiastic for you!!! :) Spring is not that far away. I think the first day of spring is March 22nd or something....That's only two months away! And spring is like March-May. YAY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSteph, I'm going to go to my happy place and envision us getting our surgeries at the same time...how cool would that be, really?! We started blogging this craziness at the same time, progress at a similar pace.... Why not do the misery climax together too!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Changes911! I KNOW!!! So CLOSE!!!!
It would be so brilliant if we had surgery at the same time (ish)... I feel a tad bad saying that, because you are projecting for spring and I'm projecting for summer, but STILL! :) Yay!
ReplyDeleteThe waiting is so hard isn't it!?!
ReplyDeleteD'uh! You and teaching. I totally got ahead of myself, didn't I Steph? Sheesh. Nothing personal if I don't wait up :)
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, Mollie, it really is a roller coaster. In *so* many ways I try NOT to put life on hold while waiting, and everything does just carry on around me. But the thought of surgery is still forever forefront in my mind. It'll be nice not to make that conscious effort to ignore it sometimes, to force myself to keep moving with the everyday stuff. It's an adventure ;)
Ooo how exciting, so happy for you - the 'promised land' is on the horizon! Good luck distracting yourself between now and then while you wait for news on the Big Day, I know I seem to think about it constantly when i'm supposed to be doing something else, and I've still got months to go!
ReplyDeleteThat's such great news. I remember the waiting... I think that's what happened to me. The waiting consumed me. I felt like I couldn't do or plan anything because of the "surgery." I hope you're better at handling that than I was. Your sense of humor should get you through! Keep smiling!! I'm headed to Munkton (sp?) this summer. Anywhere near where you are?
ReplyDeleteJust checking in too see if you're still doing a victory dance??
ReplyDeleteStill dancing...occasionally. Think I threw out my hip, resulting in multi-system failure which manifested in the form of every vehicle we own from my car to the skidsteer breaking down. And my oven. I must be super charged and am shorting out anything electronicly controlled, haha :) One of those weeks designed to bring you back to Earth.
ReplyDeleteOh! and Moncton's about 16 hours away and absolutely gorgeous in the summer ;)
