Getting Closer To My Surgery Date

This upcoming Thursday, 10/5, I will be having my back surgery. I have to be at the hospital by 6:30 in the morning for an 8:30 surgical time. Projected stay in the hospital is 3 days.
Tomorrow Veronica and I will be attending a 2 hour pre-operative class at the hospital to inform us of what we can expect before, during and after the surgery.
Due to the amount of stress that has been and currently is being generated by a certain unnamed person within this household it has been decided that it is in my best interest to get and stay at a hotel in the area until my surgery.
I need to get my blood pressure down before the surgery or else they will most likely cancel it, and if I continued staying where I am currently at there is no way that will be happening....my stress level dropping. So we will pack up a suitcase and be out of here tomorrow. We will go to our hotel after the class is finished, where I will begin decompressing from all the stress that is created in my day to day life. As if having surgery isn't stressful enough there is always someone that wants to add additional stress into the mix.
Due to the needs and wants of another I have put taking care of myself on the back burner. It is now MY turn!
