I’ve been on a path towards this surgery for 3 years and between insurance issues and Covid I had my doubts I would ever get it done. Now with it so close I can only hope all my preparations are enough. I’m not nervous for me, I’m ready. I just need to figure out how to let go of my work and focus on myself for the two weeks I insisted on taking off. It’s harder to prepare for this than any vacation I have taken in the last decade!

It is hard to emotionally and mentally prepare for on top of just being prepped for being well afterwards. That being said, focus on yourself. You’ve gone through a long process to get there, and your own well being is front and center. Good luck!!

Congratulations! What a long road to finally be at the end of. I also stress about taking off work, when I am off for a long weekend I come back to a disaster, but I am trying not to care. haha (Easier said than done) I just have to think of it as it is not my company, she should not be so dependant on one person! I gave them 6 months notice, once I started the program I told them about it. They are supportive and I know will work with my however they need to but it is still a bit stressful thinking about being out for 2 or more weeks.

I 100% get it. I tried to take a two week vacation last year and worked 4 hours a day most of the days I was supposed to have off just so I wouldn’t stress about what I was going back to. I am making myself take a full two weeks off so I can focus on me, but I’m sure I’ll be following up on emails and reporting to keep my stress down again. But I need to find a balance before going back to my 50-60 hour work weeks.
