Waiting.... Week and a half to go

I am a week and a half out from my breast augmentation.  My husband is in the military and has been deployed.  He is just getting home so he is adjusting to a new home and everything that is new or has changed since he has been gone (to include my upcoming surgery.)  Of course, he and I discussed it ahead of time, but he seems to be having all of the normal anxious feelings and second thought that I am having.  He is very supportive and really wants me to be happy and do what I feel like I need to do.  I am also the financial planner in the family so normally he doesn't stress about the finances at all.  This surgery seems to be one of the biggest decisions for us (even more than buying a car or a house!)  I think it is so different because it is "cosmetic" in nature and there are so many other good causes that the money could go to.  I did plan out the payments and paid up front for my surgery.  I had saved up quite a bit of cash in advance and had the rest of it on hand to pay for my surgery.  

I am just ready to have it over with and start the recovery and be able to look back on it all!  Hopefully I won't feel like I have made the wrong decision after the fact.  I am prepared for all the feelings that I have heard about the first weeks and months after surgery.  I am prepared that the results that I am looking for will not manifest themselves until months from now.  To be honest, I will need a week or so more to get everything ready to go for my recovery.  I have tried to stockpile some snacks and drinks that I think I may want while recovering.  I am trying to plan out some zip-front hoodies and shirts that I can wear for the first however many days it takes until I can wear T-shirts.   I am very much of a planner so in the back of my mind I always plan for the worst case scenario.  With both of my pregnancies I really anticipated labor to be worse than it actually was.  I know people think that is crazy, but I expect this to be A LOT harder than having a baby.  Everyone has told me it is much easier.  I just can't imagine recovering from anesthesia to be very easy.  I guess we will see...

I already have one semi-important invitation (5 days after my surgery) that I am almost positive that I cannot make it to.  I would love to play it by ear and see if I feel like getting out, but I know better than to plan on it.
