Parental Anxiety Never Stops

I mean, at least for me.

My kid is (finally) getting his top surgery tomorrow. It took forever to set this up. First, he had years of therapy and then years of being on T. 

Then we had to get the money together (because of course insurance doesn't cover this, or at least our insurance does not).

Then we had to schedule a consult.

Then we had to schedule the surgery itself.

Then we had to reschedule, because getting ANY kind of surgery is tough right now, and someone had to have the kid's slot, for really good reasons.

Now we're scheduled, for Friday at dawn, and a fucking snowstorm is bearing down on us.

Snow. On March 11. In Arkansas.

That's only one of the things I'm anxious about, but yeah, it doesn't help. I'm hoping the snow will be mild enough that the surgery can go forward.

Y'all keep good thoughts for us, okay?

Good wishes for both of you!
And congrats to the kid on finally getting a couple things off his chest (yeah he's probably heard that a million times)

He's made the "weight off his chest" joke himself!
