For the past two days, I've been telling various people who need to know about my surgery at work. You know, for the purposes of informing them how much time I'm going to need off. My surgery is the 12th, a Tuesday. So I've said I'll need the rest of that week and then two weeks after. Hopefully that will be enough. From what I've read of others experiences, some have been ready sooner, some later. Who knows.

I was worried about asking one person at work that I don't have the best relationship with - thankfully she didn't pry (as she has in the past) and accepted being told 'I'm having surgery' and nothing more.

Whew. I was worried about that. Those close to me at work know what I'm having done - and it's not that I mind. But I just don't want people I'm not close to knowing just now. Maybe later.

I told my mother in law a few days ago... I didn't know how to interpret her reaction.

It's weird - I think it's the type of surgery that people have definite opinions about. Interesting to see how people react when I tell them. Until now, I hadn't really told anything to anyone, as who knew when/if it would really happen. But now that I have a date - well.. I'm an open book (to most).
