All systems go

I saw the anesthesiologist and the surgeon today. I'm cleared for surgery despite my still somewhat swollen tonsils. The swelling has gone down enough that they are satisfied that it will not present a problem.

I've been all shaky and filled with nervous energy all day. This is actually going to happen. I am going to allow people to open me up and handle the delicate meat inside my skin. I'm going to let them cut parts of me up and remove some pieces. I'm doing this voluntarily. I must be insane.

The next few days are going to go very slowly.
