Ok so about Thursday (yesterday)
I am not too sure why I took yesterday off it was a combo of things. On Wednesday I had my "break down" of sorts, while at work no less. Come home Wednesday night, low and behold aunt flo decided to rear her ugly head. NO bleeding for a week and a half and BOOM one last horray! I got really discouraged with that, then kept wondering why in the world it was so HOT in my house. It was like an inferno. 94 outside and all of that inside. NO one bothered to text me at home to say hey guess what its hot in here and the air conditioner has not cut on since noon!
Got up thursday morning as it was just too late for me to call someone (didnt want an evening charge), they say ok we will send someone out to your house between 12-4. Ok thats fine no choice. I then proceeded to ask if my unit was still under warrenty (we bought it 4 years ago) he says yes it is you will be fine. HAHAHA yeah right, theres the pot calling the kettle black. it got so hot by 10am that I had to go buy another fan for the house. While on my way home from Target they call and say they can have a tech there in an hour. Ok cool thanks. No sooner than I get the fan put together, theres a knock on my door. Put the dogs outside, let dufus in. he then asks me where the unit is. I take him around back to show the unit to dufus of the year. BEFORE he even takes off the cover to the unit he says he knows whats wrong with it. HUH??? Am I missing something, is he Supermans relative? Of course the fan isnt running i turned the thermostat OFF, I dont exactly care for a high power bill because its constantly trying to run. So I go back inside its hotter than you know what outside i didnt need to baby sit him. HAHA RIGHT this guy comes back says yes I definately know what the problem is now. and I ask him how much we would be charged. $349 for the part and $199 for the cleaning and $69 "diagnostic fee". My heart about fell to the floor. He said our unit had not been cleaned since we got it .....TOTAL BS! so he says our warranty is VOID! I said there is NO way I can afford that right now. He then comes back with "well we do take credit cards you know!" THE NERVE OF THIS GUY! I called his supervisor IMMEDIATELY. They only charged me $150 for the services. they should have eatin the who durn bill if you ask me!
Sorry for the rant it is mainly nerves, I feel like my world is spinning right at the moment surgery is monday.

Re: Ok so about Thursday (yesterday)
if it can go wrong at the worst possible time, it will. seems like things can feel that way when all we want is to focus on our body, our own thoughts and an upcoming major surgery. but hang in there -- peace is not so much that things are going smoothly, but that you believe inside of you -- despite fears and questions -- things will work out for the good, ultimately. i try to accept that i may never fully understand the "why" of things, or the timing. at the same time, i try to accept that the world does not revolve around me -- there is a higher purpose and plan at work, and i am just a speck that somehow fits into all that. maybe that's not too helpful, i don't know, but like i said, peace is what you're after, no matter what's spinning out of control. for me, peace comes only because i trust God is at work in my life. i know he loves me, and i can believe that he will work things out.
my surgery was the morning after getting home from a 10 hour (each way) weekend road trip to see my niece get married. my dd's asthma started getting out of control over that weekend, and she had a big attack while i was only 18 hours post-op, still in the hospital. the dog had severe diarrhea all over his crate/bedding the second morning i was home, and it took two days to get his system plugged. the next week, the well water pump failed, and we had three days without running water in the house. the lawn mower battery died while my ds was mowing -- another repair that couldn't wait. no one brought meals, and it was just my dh taking care of me and four kids and managing all these situations. seemed like if something could go wrong, it did...eventually things leveled out. there's always something, but a time of rest will come. it helps that i am feeling better and now able to help handle the unexpected. but remember, we're told "tomorrow has enough trouble of it's own." this weekend, try to focus on the here and now, the positives of your life. i know you will be busy preparing for monday as well, and thinking ahead to being ready at home for recovery. i wish you peace in the midst of all the activity. don't borrow any more trouble than you need, when it comes to wondering what else could go wrong. just try to know that things will work out -- and hopefully your surgery will ultimately put you on a road to healing and wellness and relief. that in itself helps all of us when it comes to handling the things life brings our way at the most unexpected time...
best to you -- hang in there!!
