Hello, It`s Me Again

The second surgery went well, I was recovering nicely. Mike was calling daily (multiple times), he and Harrison were gone for four days after my surgery (I had wonderful caregivers during this time.) I was in pain of course but doing good. I was missing Mike and Harrison like crazy! Even though I talked to them multiple times a day, its not the same as being right there. I was trying to recover and be apart of their trip also, I wanted to know everything thing they were doing, how the service went and so on. I was missing seeing Harrison be somewhere for the first time (I like to see his face as he sees new things, even now as a teenager I still love it!) But we knew what had to be done so here I was living vicariously through them via phone calls, ya do what ya gotta do as the saying goes. I had close co-workers (work best friends) that came to visit me, they brought me lunch (they also brought my sister lunch) and tried to cheer me up (it worked for the most part-their crazy which is good.) By the time the boys (Mike and Harrison) got home, I was feeling better, still could not do to much but at least I was feeling better, that was a win in my book! And I was able to take a “normal” shower which was awesome (that helped me feel a ton better.) Several days had passed and finally my doctor called, at this point I knew all the numbers they called from, so I was positive it was her (or someone from the office) I answered and she says, “Hello, its me again” we chatted for a few minutes about my recovery and how I was doing but I really just wanted to here answers! Finally after I let her know how I was doing she said “We got everything, all is clear” there are no words to describe how those words felt, it was like I had been holding my breath the entire time since surgery and I could finally let it out. We made a follow up appointment for a couple of weeks out to discuss the next steps and hung up. I cried happy tears, called Mike to let him know (he was beyond excited). The crazy thing is, again I was like dammit I did not ask questions, I heard “all clear” and lost my concentration, I did not even know what she meant by next steps, I was done, right? They got it, it was clear, what next steps?
