so my pre-op yesterday was really upsetting for me. i actually got to read everything the dr wrote up about the lump and saw all his comments about how he didn’t think it was a cyst and all that fun stuff so i got upset thinking about what it could be. not to mention they took a metric ton of blood so my arm was hurting for the rest of the day. that’s done though.
today the internet got hooked up. so we had planned to upgrade the service to “online max” because ryan liked the idea of a faster connection and it included home networking so we could have all our comps hooked up. well, i was in the mediacom office twice discussing everything and made it overly clear that we were upgrading to online max so that we could get home networking. the technician shows up today and it turns out that they can’t offer home networking in valdosta because they were having problems with the routers catching fire. after calling customer service i found out it’s actually a problem in all of georgia and that mediacom has switched hardware providers but out of their order for like 30,000 routers they’ve only been sent like 40….so they’re currently not offering the service here. so after a fairly quick convo about being screwed over on the deal and the rep also realizing i had been overcharged as well, i’m now getting $50 internet for $9.95 a month for the next year. the guy told me that they’d call when the networking was available in our area again but that if i were to already have a wireless router by then, then oh well, i win ’cause it’s much cheaper that way anyway. he actually cracked me up when he was saying all that. it was kind of like he was speaking from some monster corporation going, “okay ma’am, you win. we lose. have some cheap services, please don’t be angry with me anymore.” after that things got a little rough for a while ’cause then we had to figure out how to get ryan’s computer hooked up and he was freaked about having to pay for a router and network card for his comp and not being able to get as fast a connection as my computer, etc, all valid concerns. when all was said and done he finally found a router and network card for a really decent price and he got it all set up and currently his connection is just as strong as mine =)
so i have to be at the hospital at 7 am. hopefully i won’t be there too long before they take me back. the longer i’m sitting around the more tense i’ll be. as of 12am i’m not allowed to eat or drink anything until after everything tomorrow. ryan took me to mori tonight 
mmmmm steak and shrimp and fried rice. damn it was good. i’ve never desired a glass of water quite this strongly though. but i know it’s just because i can’t have it.
i’m still pretty much terrified. i’m worried about all the little complications that can come up during any kind of surgery. and i’m worried about my panic attacks. and i’m worried about what the lump could turn out to be. but at least i get some good drugs.
the move is still pretty much going one step at a time. it’s driving me crazy, but oh well! lol
