I have nothing in particular to write about today. First things first. Surgery! Where to start. I keep thinking that I am going to wake up and this will all be a big joke. The Dr. will say, "I am sorry, we mixed up your records with someone else's!" That is because I am scared to death! I am in so much pain I want it to go away. However, I wanted the easy fix not the hard one! I don't know if I have the strength to go through this. Like this morning I thought "Wow! I feel great! No pain, what a good day! Maybe it will all fix itself!" Even though I know that it isn't true. I want to talk about it, but I am so sick of talking about it. If that makes any sense. I talk about it because there is so much that I have to do beforehand!
In preparation of the big event, we bought this couch. We should have it by the middle of October. I have a line on a raised toilet seat and shower chair. Thanks Kimmy! After I go to my pre-op appointment I will be off buying running pants to wear during recovery. I have to wait until then because I need to know if I will have a cast or not. If so, I will be buying a larger size. I am collecting books to read. I may even pick up my One Stroke Painting stuff and learn that while I am home, bored to death.
My goal of this post was to talk about all the things happening in my life and here I go rambling about surgery!!! Ugh, see it takes over your mind!!!!!
Let's see.... Went to my friend Billee's bachelorette party this weekend, we had a blast!!!! We went out drinking and partying. We went to a strip club! It was a LOT of fun! We were all pretty much hammered that night. I didn't however need a whole day to recover. I was feeling pretty good by the time the Packer game started. Then I slept through halftime and the whole 3rd quarter!
What is up with the Packers this year? 0-2? They need to get their heads out of their asses! Thank GOD the Badgers are doing well. Otherwise this state would be on a football drought! We are used to winning, not getting beaten by one of the worst teams in the NFL!
Oh, I have officially lost 15lbs on our diet. I think that is about what Josh has lost. I am happy to say that my cloths are fitting a hell of a lot better. I am fitting VERY nicely into a lot of my clothes from last fall! The highlight? I won't have to buy all new cloths this fall. I have had to do that the past few years. My Goal is:~4 weeks to surgery to loose another 10 lbs. Hopefully that happens. All of this has been with change of diet. Since I am in so much pain I am unable to exercise. I am sure that it would be more if I were walking and stuff like that. Soon enough walking will be a HUGE chore. So I will burn twice as many calories as I do now walking. Although I will be doing less of it.
I am all set for my conference in Seattle. Al l that I have to do is go over my poster one or two more times, send it to the printer and I am READY! I am VERY excited about this! I cannot wait to see the west coast! I hope it doesn't rain the WHOLE time that I am there!!
Finally, Chase family brouhaha this weekend! I am VERY excited to see all of my Chase family! It isn't very often that we all get together!
Oh and Josh's mom's birthday is Monday, so we are going up either Saturday night or Sunday morning to spend time with them. I hope it goes well!
Oh Josh's grandma Flossie has to undergo hip replacement surgery. We will probably be going under the knife about the same time.
That is all for now!
