I am too much of a free spirit to have a mom like that but then again, I am sure a lot is cultural. My friend is Indian and her son wants to be a car mechanic and he is not allowed to be, he has to go into medicine or finance... I feel badly for him since he's a cool kid (kinda shy) and easy going so he'd be well suited for a non-high pressured job.

I think kids/teens who lose thier parents early on tend to have a motivated sense of self. No one to reply on, bail you out, give you advise, so you have to fend for yourself. I am nothing like my mother, so while she is alive she makes my life more difficult because she is right and I am not. LOL ... I just go with that non-logic and move on with my life. If she is going to be miserable I do not have to be. Even my therapist cannot believe things she says/does... it's almost like living in a saop opera at times. 🙃🙃🙃

I do not want a suitcase, just the basics and easily accessible! There is a starbucks on the recovery floor, and catered food services (24 hour room delivery in the hospital) ... it's a very upscale hub so I should be in good hands. The robotic surgery should be no more than 2 hours, then 2 hour post anesthesia care, then a room so by 6pm (??) I should be settled. I know they said 2 weeks no driving but my drs office said NO the first week I am mobile pretty much as soon as I am able AND not to overdo it byt even light exercise by week 2 is okay (not that I ever exercise more than lightly anyway!) so I think it's more the meds and initial post op stuff.

I already have pain so being ON meds will be helpful, I"ve had nothing for 10 days and I am hurting... looking forward to some IV something or other to help me feel better. 🤣🤣
