What's New Thursday?
Good Morning! Well George it is my turn to be carless.. I am so NOT a morning person, I usually have my clothes laid out the night before, sleep to the last possible minute, jump up, get dressed, comb hair, put on makeup and down meds and out the door. This morning I had to drop off the car to have a new door put on ( from when the truck backed into me last month) I had to be up early. DD Liz picked me up from the car shop and we got coffee. It was actually fun. Then when I got to work there was a gathering with Santa( he had a singing cross eyed duck puppet ..sooo funny. )There must have been 5 differant egg casseroles, fruit ,rolls lots of food. Everyone is asked to bring a toy for an older child. When people donate they seldom give things that teens would like, so giving agencys are always short. It was a fun way to start a day. Plus I only have to work 3 hours today and I'm off tomorrow, whoo hoo. I am going to see if the pup my Mom wants has been sold, if not I will buy her and supplies, take her to the vet . and deliver her to Mom with a big bow around her neck. I have such mixed emotions about it. But I will just say a prayer that if it is not to be when I get to there she has been sold. Guess I should get some work done, blessings

Good early morning Eileen and all my OFF sibs......
Well, it's still dark outside (6:30 a.m.) but I can see gray ocean, volcano and palm trees waiting to be lit up within the hour. It's cozy in here right now....probably 78 degrees....good cotton nightie weather which is what I have been wearing for five days now. Today I'm going to put on REAL CLOTHES!
It is one week exactly since I had panniculectomy and I'm feeling great, but still have that one pesky drain hanging from my binder that keeps filling up enough that I need to keep it in awhile longer. I'm guessing maybe next Monday I can have it removed. I actually would rather have the liquid accumulating in the little grenade than inside me....at least I can dump this out! Today I'll call Honolulu and report my numbers and will undoubtedly hear "Keep the drain a few more days."
Tomorrow my cleaning angel comes and for that I am thankful. I might be able to be out of here while she works...I hope so. I don't see any reason why I can't drive by now.......I'm not taking pain meds except at night, and don't plan on a lot of walking around.
Christmas seems like a pretty little party that is going on around me, but in which I have no part. I have no desire to shop, to wrap, to mail, to decorate at all! I do have up a few lights just so my friends don't bug me, but I think I'm going to be the "bah humbug" sister this year. I'm going to take my grandsons' Christmas gifts when I go in January and have a 2nd Christmas for them with tutu there. Maybe that will become a theme. They will have so many toys and other stuff at Christmas...they will never miss mine. And maybe they will remember "Christmas in January with Tutu!"
Janet, (and anyone else with drain experience) if you are reading this, will you please tell me about how long you had drains in, and what happened when they pulled the last one. Did you puff up with the extra fluid? Would you have chosen to leave it in longer? How long with the binder? Mine keeps slipping and sliding and crawling above the surgery line.
Enough about me! You all have a wonderful day, and thanks for being here for me to hang out with first thing in the morning!! Sending you all gentle little no-pain hugs.
