This past week has been a long countdown until my surgery on Friday morning.

Saturday I did some clothes shopping¹ and then on Sunday I went grocery shopping where I stocked up on mashed potatoes, applesauce, pudding, spaghetti o’s & meatballs, cottage cheese, eggs & oatmeal since that will be the only stuff I can manage to eat² for awhile. I also when to Family Dollar where I picked up some more essentials³.

I have been running around like a chicken without my head at work this week trying to get everything all set up since I won’t be back until March 7th⁴.

I have been eating stuff all week that I know I won;t be able to eat for awhile: meatball sub, steak sub, Burger King, Arbys, Pizza … you name it I’ve eaten it. They way I am going I will probably only lose the weight that I put on in the last week lol

I’m starting to get really nervous about being under IV sedation for this … and I really don’t want to see myself in the healing stages because I know that I will cry but, honestly in the end I know this is what I have to do and this pain is going to stop all the pain that I have had for years.
