Choosing the date

I am a super-ahead-of-time-planner, so I know what I am going to do months in advance. We are going to the beach the beginning of August, and school starts August 10th. We are going to Disney World in October, so I had to be well enough by then. My surgery needed to fall somewhere between the beach and Disney. I didn't want to do it the kids' first week of school, and in order to give more a good 7+ weeks, I would need to schedule it for the week of August 17th. That JUST HAPPENED to be one of the busiest times of my year. I am on the committee of our church's children's consignment sale, , a job that takes lots of my dear friends working together around the clock for that entire week. I just bit the bullet and asked my committee girls what they thought. They were so supportive and told me to do it. So, I scheduled my hysterectomy for August 17th. The kids will have been in school for one week and we will have almost 8 weeks until Disney.
