Time seems to stand still

Time seems to stand still

You always here the phrase, time flies when you are having fun but the opposite is true while waiting for you surgery date.  With two weeks to go to AVR surgery these last 6 weeks seemed to have taken forever.  I hope my recovery is not the same way.  I like to make lists and I have a ton of thinks still to do but now seems like most of them are on the post operation side of the calendar.  I really seem to worry about germs more so than usual.  I understand that the operation could be postponed for a simple cold so I find myself washing my hands with sanitizer several times a day.

I am sure there is something I forgot to put on my list but I guess I will just have to punt if that happens.  It is very strange for the first time in my life to have to prepare for several different senerioes.  We all know what the possibilities could be but the one I am concentrating on is back to work in 8 weeks after the operation and running my 53rd marathon in 122 days from now.  I am a very goal oriented person and I always have several goals set on the horizon.  I feel without a goal you are aimlessly going through life.  Some of them might be considered lofty and there has been only a few that I have not been able to achieve.  When that has occurred I just adjust and move on.  I have gotten a lot of support from family and friends and it will be an adjustment for me to have to relay on others but I am sure that will only be for a short period of time.
