follow up.

this afternoon i left for the doctor in muskogee for my first check up since the surgery. halfway there i got a call saying that the doctor would not be able to make our 1:00 appointment and instead would like to meet with me at 3:30. since i was already halfway there, i didn't want to turn around, drive back to tulsa, work for an hour and then turn around and leave again. when i got to town i called my mom to see if she would like to meet me for lunch, but she was unable to. i was going to call dee and see if she had eaten lunch yet, but my mom and i ended up being on the phone for well over an hour. by the time we hung up, it was well past lunch. i went to hobby lobby because i've needed to check on some frames and other accessories for a while, but never have the time to go in. i spent time walking around, talking to mom about justin's wedding, and trying to get inspiration for his and lindsay's upcoming wedding events.

i got to the doctor's office at about 3:15 ... and didn't get to see the doctor until a little after 4:00. i thought i was going to fall asleep in the waiting room. when i did finally see him, dr. powell explained everything that had been done in my surgery. i had heard it all before from my family, but not from him, since i was still under after the procedures. he assured me that everything came back clear and that the only thing we have to worry about right now is everything developing and growing again. he also said when it is time for me to have children, i may need to have a few procedures, nothing that he seemed too concerned about, however.

i was headed out of town and back to tulsa when my mom called and asked if i could come by the house to discuss the save-the-date, wedding invitations, bridal shower, and registry while justin and lindsay were both at the house. it was a very short discussion. justin was not into it at all ... which was a little surprising to me. i've always pictured him as the kind of guy who would be excited about all the details and interesting in being involved. not to say that he's not involved; right now i would just say he is more focused on the new house and furniture for it.

after our wedding discussion, he asked sierra and i to come with him to show lindsay the new range he had purchased for their kitchen, along with a dining set. after that, he called the realtor and asked him to please let us in the house so that i could see it. i was excited to get to see the inside. travis and i had driven by and seen the facade, but nothing more. i think it's a great house for them in a great neighborhood. i think they're eagerly anticipating the day they receive the keys and can begin making it their home.

tonight, i am exhausted. i was ready for bed at 9:30 and even laid down, but travis and i started talking, and i find myself still awake ... not for much longer, though. i just realized it had been a few days since my last post, and i want to stay in the habit of posting. tomorrow is friday ... i couldn't be more thankful.
