Waffle Report:
Dude, this pre-op diet has changed my appetite in a major way. I ate half a Belgian waffle, 2 strawberries, half a sausage patty and like 6 bites of scrambled eggs. And I was stuffed! Six months ago the whole plate would have been emptied. But it was tasty, and it was finished by 9 so my insides get almost 24 hours before the surgery to empty itself out.
In Other News:
I was obsessed yesterday with getting the apartment straightened and cleaned up, and then I was obsessed with getting my car cleaned out and washed. So we cleaned and washed and vacuumed and everything's done. I told my husband (Kevin) last night that I wasn't sure if the obsession came from me wanting things cleaned up just in case I die or if it came from me wanting to have everything clean and organized for my new fresh start that starts tomorrow. We decided it was the latter, since I did he same thing before the wedding, and again right before I went back to work after my wrist-mandated disability time.
After breakfast we ran a few errands..Bed Bath & Beyond for a Magic Bullet and a third place setting of our fine china (we only got two sets when we got married and I really want us to have at least 8 sets...hooray for those 20% off coupons I keep getting!), then Costco for Kevin food (the man doesn't cook, so he gets microwaved food for a couple weeks) and Propel and chicken broth and bottled water (Kevin drinks it too, so it'll disappear even if I hate it). Oh, and vitamins. And tampons, which came in a big enough box that I probably won't need to buy them again this year.
Then I came home and packed (robe, slippers, comfy PJs for the ride home, Chapstick, a book, a brush, and socks), and I think I will go take a nap before I make dinner for Kevin. We're bowling tonight, my last night for at least month, and then I get to come home and take a Hibiclens shower tonight and tomorrow morning. The Hibiclens thing is a little annoying but considering that I am A) allergic to sulfa, which is what works best on MRSA and B) had to battle a MRSA infection a couple of years ago, I have no problem doing anything that will help prevent me from going through that again. (And woohoo, my MRSA cultures came back negative last week so I won't have to go through contact isolation!)
To Sum Up:
I'm all packed up, I've got my Propel and chicken broth and Jello and sugar free popsicles and even a Magic Bullet. Let's do this thing!
