Sooner rather than later equals less time to worry over things. Sometimes there’s a reason things go quickly, even if we don’t know what it is. He knows.

Yay! and also Ack!

I hope it goes really, really, really well. (and get medication option queries in to whatever doctor knows the hearing/medication question, along with a “this is when the surgery is” urgency flag!)

Fortunately, I bet you’ve already got enough yarn for recovery, and you just made more chocolate, so some of the important things are already taken care of…

You’ve got this!!!

Just enough time to get some stuff done to prepare, but short enough to not have to dwell on it. So hoping they can help with acupuncture or other means that won’t affect your hearing. Chocolate and yarn is a good start.

Agree with other commenters that sometimes sooner is better to avoid too much time for worrying.
And you should feel a lot better sooner as a result.
The apricot dish sounds fantastic! Enjoy it.
Thinking of you

I’m glad you have your coping mechanisms! It’s nerve-wracking, of course, but then it will be over and on to the next steps. Keep breathing!

Prayers going up from here. Would it be ok to put you on my church Prayer Circle (with no detail and only initials) for the extra prayers?
You have yarn and chocolate, but maybe some reading material lined up?
Blessings on you, hubby, and all the medical staff.
