WHATS HAPPENING SATURDAY:::::

Hey, all you wonderful people, Well, it rained early this AM and that explains why my back has been so messed up. I have gotten such relief today, got my shopping finished, made some puppy chow for the kids when they get here and am going to do my cards tomorrow. It seemed so strange making candy and not tasting it but I did good. I'm so excited about this surgery, still have to pinch myself to believe it's happening. I also stewed a whole chicken to get the broth and bought an ice cube tray to freeze it so I can have it to thaw when I am on clear liquids. Since I'm on one light meal a day I was able to eat some of the meat for dinner tonight. I also bought custard cups because Susan Maria said baked custard kept her going sometimes and I have always love that. My dear Momma always made it for me when I was sick or later when I came home from California to visit - so it has good memories for me. Think I will find it comforting and eggs and milk will be good protein. I have been practising with the protein shakes trying to get a taste for what I like now. I only bought one bag of flavored vanilla because I was afraid I'd not like chocolate after surgery. I also bought unflavored Unjury and have added it to soups and it doesn't taste at all. Makes them kind of thick but not a really bad thing. I haven't made the cookies or balls because it's a long time before I'll be eating those. Today was Marilyn's funeral service and I couldn't help but think of her all day. I am glad I gave up trying to go to St. Louis because four hours each way would have had me in bed for days. I talked to Tom and he's going to send me her binder from Dr. Hornbostel. Thought it would be nice to have another Dr's ideas and knowing it was Marilyn's makes it special to me. I am glad Jan has volunteered to be my angel. I was afraid to ask because she is so faithful in keeping us all together I didn't want to give her another "duty" but she volunteered so I'm honored too. I think tomorrow is going to be another lovely day and then we have Monday night to look forward too. I'll see you all there, can hardly wait. Love and many hugs Lana
