I'm going to the hospital in the morning to have my gall bladder removed. Besides the C-section I had when my daughter was born 15 years ago, this will be the only surgery I've had. I was awake for the C-section, but I guess I was put under to have my wisdom teeth yanked. It doesn't seem the same.
The procedure is laparascopic, so I'll go home tomorrow a few hours after the surgery which seems odd to me. There is a 5% chance that once they've started the laparascopic procedure that they'll decide they need to do the old-school "open" style surgery. If that happens, I stay in the hospital for 2 days and will have a 6-week recovery time. This couldn't be happening at a worse time as far as work is concerned, so I'd better not end up with a 6-week recovery time.
I'll have to keep you updated. :)

Maybe it'll feel like spring soon...
1. How did the week go, so far? What success did I experience? What challenges did I endure?
I think it's gone pretty well. The training session that I attended with 2 colleagues went well and I enjoyed getting to know them better. Plus, we've got a good plan for how to use the information back on campus. A challenge has been dealing with higher level administrators that don't understand what we do with students. Another success was going to Avenue Q. What a great production!
2. What did I learn this week? About myself? About others? What do I plan to do - differently or the same - tomorrow?
Mostly, I've learned about StrengthsQuest and how to educate others with it. I've learned about my own strengths. I learned about my colleagues' strengths. I hope to use the information to educate other colleagues about strengths and with my staff I'd like to use the information about them to be a better supervisor.
3. Who did I interact with? Anyone I need to update? Thank? Ask a question? Share feedback?
I've spent a lot of time interacting with the two colleagues that came to the training session. I updated my supervisor today. I also need to update my staff. I need to thank these 2 colleagues for making our time together enjoyable. Right now, I can't think of any questions or feedback that I need to ask or give. Of course, I may be forgetting something. ;)
