I Miss Chewing

Let me tell you these two weeks of soft liquids are becoming unbearable.  My diet consists of yogurt and creme soups.  I throw in an occasional sugar free yogurt and I have a protein shake daily.  Needless to say I am tired of this diet.  Almost to the point that I don't want to eat.  Right now I'm sipping my 6oz cup of  decaf coffee and dreading my breakfast.  Hopefully tomorrow I will find out that I get to go to the next level.

It's The Little Things

Sometimes progress can't be measured in strides.  It's the little things that matter  Not sure if I heard that somewhere or if I just made it up but I like it.  So unless you find you find that someone said it before me please give me recognition.  That's a joke folks.

One Week Down

My recovery has been relatively uneventful, well with the exception of my miracle.  I'm learning a few things that I will discuss.

Tears of Joy

Something happened last night thata has given me cause to write two blog posts in one day.

I really didn't expect positive change to begin so quickly, yet I am already beginning to see it happen.

It's here!!

Wednesday July 15, 2015:  I've actually started this post a few days before the big day.  I knew that I would want to post this as soon as I could following surgery.

So I really can't write much except our plans.  We have to be at the hospital early 5:30am.  That means getting up early enough to take a shower with this special soap.  Like 3:45 early.  I am so overjoyed about that one.  I really don't mind too much.  I want this surgery.  We had to get up and on the road by 4am when my husband had his leg catheter.  So leaving by 4:30am should be no problem.  The drive is normally 30 minutes but I want to make sure to give us time to make detours in case something happens.  I want this.  I really want this to happen so I will make sure if it doesn't happen it's not because I was late getting to the hospital.

Will I Sleep?

Well I am in bed wide awake.  I did laundry earlier but forgot to wash the shorts I wanted to wear home Friday.  So I did a second small load.  It turned out that was a good thing.  My husband had put the first load in the dryer without the dryer sheet.  My new nightgown and robe were so full of static it would have driven me crazy.  I finished dog proofing the living room then took a shower in some special soap.  My alarm is set for 3:45am.  That should give me time to take the second required shower, fold the things I want to take from the dryer and dress.  Several of my friends have contacted me offering well wishes.  Sue called me, that was so nice.  Well I am off to hopefully get some sleep. 

2 More Sleeps

Well it's almost here.  Two more sleeps and then I have to get up before the butt crack of dawn.  There's a part of me that is excited, and another somewhat scared.

Is it me, or does anyone else think about their appearance for elective surgery?

FINALLY!!

WOW!!  A lot has happened since my last post.  It has been a whirlwind!   The first thing is the Supreme Court of the Unites States handed down a decision allowing gay marriage.  Second, I got my approval for my surgery!!  I am not sure which excites me more.
