My in-laws were in from 5 hours away to watch the kids, so now we need to host new people (probably my folks if they can get down) next week. Important meetings that I'd pushed off until I got back now either have to come a lot sooner or get pushed back another week. Plus, there's been all the variations of the, "I thought you weren't supposed to be here" conversation all day today. I get the surgeon not wanting my weakened immune system to get in the way of my recovery, but it feels like a little cough (that I can only hope is gone by next week) really f-ed up a good chunk of my planned life for the next month or so. Or at least reminded me of how little control I have over things.
