Well, I finally have an arrival time

 5:30 AM

Aghh! I didn't get a call because they were so slammed today after the holiday (I'm assuming everyone was breaking bones over the holiday; that is usually the case with us.) I called as per directions after 1 pm but couldn't get the scheduler, then was on hold for 25 minutes on the main line before asking to be called. I tried the scheduler, Cheryl, again and got her, and she apologised and gave me the time and apologised for the delay. A few minutes later I got a cal from the general phone bank following up on my other call.

I have to take a shower tonight and use the wipes, then do the wipes in the morning. And I'm going to get up early, make coffee so we can put it in a thermos for my roommate so he can function somewhat there. He plans to sleep in the waiting room. He is not happy, but I am one of a handful of people he would get up in the middle of what he would consider the night to this for.

I suspect I was added onto the beginning of the day's schedule, on a day that the surgeon was not going to be there, as I know that I'm the only case of his that day's, so I'm thinking given that it was a holiday weekend he may be coming back from  vacation a little early to do that or something like that, which I appreciate.

Our ride is coming at 5 am [Thank you, Brenda!] I have to drink 20 oz. of Gatorade at 4:30 am, but the surgery scheduler said it was so early that it was fine if I did it before bed. I figure between the wipes and the coffee I'll be getting up by 3:30 am anyway so it's no issue. 

The only things I have to do now other than that are finish my laundry, both clothes and bed clothes, pack my backpack,  make sure things are charged, and I think that's it. Everything else is ready. I know what I'm wearing. I have all the paperwork anyone might need ready. I think I'm good to go. I also think that while the first load  of clothes are drying that I am going to take a nap. :)
