Nervous Anticipation

It's (right this minute) 24 hours before my surgery. 15 minutes ago I had my last taste of freedom until tomorrow afternoon - a cup of coffee! I'm supposed to stay on a clear liquid diet a full 24 hours before my surgery...I just had to get that cup of joe in before the clock started ticking. Then again..I was ready to sacrifice and give the coffee a big PASS, but Rich is such a bad influence and makes the best cup of coffee in the World...

The rest of the day will be jello, broth and white grape fruit juice...yum yum! What makes that particularly torturous is that in 2 hours we will head out to the Monthly Blocker Family Breakfast at Shoneys!  Wait....that's not all...at 2pm I am hosting a baby shower for Josh & Johanna (son and daughter-in-law, for those new to the story) and I have an amazing menu on tap! I spent yesterday  cooking, mixing and baking most everything so I could taste it to make sure everything will be delicious.

In 24 hours my surgery will be underway. I'm feeling the nervousness but not the fear. I'm ready for this but know that it's going to be a quite painful recovery for a little bit. It's all part of it and it is what it is. My husband will take care of me right down to the worst of it. He's such a trooper and an awesome care-giver.
(Thank you HONEY)!

So...I may blog one more time before surgery but if not....I will update when I am able.

Happy Sunday!

The Dark Days

I still have them...just without drinking through them. Sometime I wish I could, but it's not an option if I want to live. Peace
