A shot in the dark, and a Big Damn Favor

[kitanzi]

My surgery is scheduled for Wed, October 26th at 8:15 am. I'm not sure how long it will take, but the surgery center wants me to promise that I'll have someone with me for the rest of the day since I'll be loopy on painkillers. This is a real shot in the dark, but is there anyone in the Alpharetta or Atlanta area who would be home during that day who might be able and willing to have a genuine couch potato on their couch for that afternoon? ACat seriously can't get more time off - he's already borrowing vacation time from next year from his job to go to OVFF and they politely made it clear that that's a one time favor they're doing for him.

Personally, I think I would be ok if he got me set up on the couch at home with pills, water, cellphone for emergencies, and tv remote before heading back to work - he's only five to ten minutes down the road. But the doctors seem pretty set about this, and while I may wind up just smiling nicely at them and telling them what they want to hear, I thought I'd ask around first.

I work from home when I'm in town, so there is someone here all day if you don't mind random dog energy bursts. Let me know.

Do you know for sure you'll be in town? I thought that was often short notice for you... but if so, that's a very generous offer and much appreciated. Like I said for Joyce above, I'll check with ACat on which is easier for him, since he's the one has to bring me from the doctor's office to whereever I do my potato imitation for the day. *bearhug* to all of you, and I am immensely grateful, regardless.

Barring some emergency I expect to be in town that week.

Thank you greatly, but I'm going to take Aaron's offer since it lets me collapse in the comfort of my own home. :) I hope you all are doing well - it's been ages since I've seen any of you.

I just hope it all works out the way it should. We'll keep good thoughts for you!

Thanks - I'll take all of that I can get!
