Surgery April 29
I'm so excited today - it is my LAST Thursday of being so frustrated about not being healthy, not being able to lose weight, searching DESPERATELY for something in my closet that fits THIS week.....
All week, I've been busy getting things ready - I have my post op protein powders, vitamins, thermometer (can you believe I didn't have one?), pill crusher. Bought sugar-free jello, popsicles, cream soups, pudding, crystal light, sugar-free syrup for my shaved ice maker - making homemade beef and chicken broths this weekend. Have arranged for my dog to be boarded overnight, have a ride TO hospital (working on the FROM part - may have to pay a million dollars for a cab ride). Daughter will come to tend to me for a couple of days (she doesn't drive or would pick me up). My boss (who is awesome) has hired a temp to take on some of my workload so I won't be overwhelmed when I get back (I'm in IT, so it gets crazy if I'm not there).
I AM SO READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I DO find I'm getting a little nervous......part of me wishes it would hurry up and get here so that I could get on with it, the other wants to savor these last few days - course, the liquid diet makes "savoring" a bit tough
