Default Surgery date 10/30/07!!

I got my surgery date yesterday and just about busted a gut (no pun intended!)! My boss put me down to be off for SIX DAYS, surgery on Tuesday and expects me back Monday! WHAT???? My supervisor said I could come in and work 1/2 days if I wanted to. I don't think any of us know what to expect but DAAAANG, does he think I'm superwoman?

On the bad side, when I told my hubby of 2 years what date they gave me, he got upset because he was going to have to be out of town then. He said I should have waited until the end of November to make sure he could get time off. He apparently is a heavy drug user because he's high if he thinks I'm waiting any longer than these 5 weeks!! I know he wants to be there with me, but I have family and friends who will be there in his stead. I was just furious that he expected that of me! I told him if they could invent a surgery to cure his diabetes and make re-grow his hair, I bet he would jump on the first date they had, with no hesitation!! I told him he has no idea what it feels like that after 39 years of being fat, I finally have a way out and he shouldn't expect me to postpone it for his convenience.

Was I wrong??????

Congrats on your date!

As long as you have a buddy or someone who can help you out for the first couple of days, you should be fine with hubby out of town.
