Well surgery is now 11 days away and the butterflies are crawling around inside my stomach like crazy these days! So many things going on to keep me occupied and my mind off the days that it has been easy to forget for awhile. Monday June 2, 2008 I had oral surgery and had two back teeth removed.. during the process I think the dentist injured a nerve to my tongue and my taste buds as now everything taste disgusting. Only way to describe it is everything taste like gas or kerosene! YUCK! I guess the best part about it, it has kept me on track eating wise as I cant eat anything. The whole liquid diet thing will be a breeze for me! lol Although I did want to have a splurge day before surgery that wont be happening and in the long run its a good thing I guess! I have lost 15lbs now so the surgeon should be happy although they told me 5 to 10 lbs and said if I didnt lose it they would still go ahead with the surgery. But I feel good that I've lost it.. just not the way they wanted me to. I was suppose to be on a diet of 1/2 cup cottage cheese, fruit, yogurt/chicken or turkey. Then the 3 days before surgery i'm suppose to be on clear liquids which I'm finding isnt as hard to do as I thought it would be! June 3, 2008 I was blessed with a beautiful granddaughter who was 6lbs and 19 inches long by my youngest daughter. She's been a joy to spend time with and now have two beautiful granddaughters to share my time with! I also just found out my oldest daughter will be having a baby in December so once again i'll be grandma again! I love being a grandma!! So with the birth of my grandchild/grandchildren and my surgery the 24th.. this year is going to be full of new and exciting events in my life and I cant wait to enjoy each and every one of them!!
