Jameson's surgery is tomorrow.

We are both nervous about it. Although I'm less so obviously because A) it ain't me getting it and B) He says the surgery itself only takes 30 minutes. I don't know why that makes me feel better but it does.

We both slept terribly last night. I can only imagine what kinds of stress dreams poor Jameson is having.

Since the operation is only 30 minutes and the hospital is rather close by, I've decided not to make a hospital bag per se.
I'll bring a little bag of snacks, water, charger, and a book for myself, but if it turns out he has to stay overnight I can easily just drive back to the house and gather things to bring to Jameson.

At home the only thing I've really done to prepare is clean, and buy some "gentle" foods in case of nausea.
Bread for toast, white rice, jello, crackers. I can cook some chicken or add broth to the rice. Bananas.
Again, Publix is just 10 minutes down the road so I can easily pop out if anything is needed.
I don't want to make any food in advance because when you're nauseous some foods might nauseate you further.
Better to wait and see what he'll ask for and then make it.

Also before anyone suggests soup, Jameson has Menierre's, and cannot have high-salt foods.
If I do soup for him it will probably be something I make myself, as low-sodium options at the store are limited.

We have a big pile of tv shows and movies that he can watch, he has video games, or work that he can do if he feels up for it.

As for me, I'm "supposed" to get some job training with the data entry job this week, and on the 17th I have a fingerprinting appointment for the discount court reporting, but my training doesn't start until the 21st. So aside from whatever time those things take, I'll be fully available for whatever Jameson needs.

I just hope it goes smoothly and he doesn't have much pain.
He's been waiting for so long to get this surgery over with.
