I’m avoiding doing the dishes because it’s soo cold in my apartment. I don’t want to leave my room. So I will make a quick post about what I forgot to mention last week.
I’m getting my tubes tied!
I know I’ve been talking about it for a while but now it’s actually scheduled. I talked to my doctor, did my pre-op bloodwork and have an appointment for next week. I will only be in the hospital for a few hours which surprised me. I thought they would keep me most of the day but I guess not. I called my insurance and they cover everything. I have a lovely boy that is escorting me to and from the hospital. I’m recovering at my parent’s house so I don’t have to climb stairs. My mom already wants to know what I want to eat when I’m not even sure how I will be feeling.
I told my boss because I asked for time off and I’m close enough to her to tell her what’s going on. Her reaction was “Really? Really? Well, as long as you’re happy.” I told her yes, I am happy as you can be about a surgical procedure. I am nervous about the whole hospital part. I’ve woke up in hospitals completely fine and woke up in complete, shaking pain. This procedure is quick and minimally invasive so I’m hoping for good things.
I’ve told friends, they are supportive or at least to my face they are. A couple have asked if I am freezing eggs. No, I’m not. I have no desire to pass on my defective genes and the whole point of this is because I don’t want babies!
I want to have a no-baby shower when I am all healed. I told my friends it will be like a baby shower, except fun. And I have been sure to point out to my breeder friends that this isn’t about bashing moms, it’s about celebrating choice!
