Days 10 & 11 of pre-op diet...

Apr 18, 2010

OK... the fact that I did NOT post yesterday means I was sane for most of the day!  Yea!!! Yesterday, I went to support group, and did all of my last-minute shopping for things I will need after surgery. 

Today I was insane... but not from hunger... I had energy like I have never had before!  I am nesting since surgery is 4 days away... So here is what I was able to accomplish between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM

Did my spring visual inspection of the exterior of my home (all is well)
Read the Sunday paper (all of it)

Phone calls to two family members, and two friends
Vacuumed and mopped kitchen, dining room and two bathrooms
Salted carpets (easy way to clean them between professional cleanings plus it deters spring critters!)
Cleaned one bathroom (including scrubbing fiberglass shower)
Plucked all the dead leaves off all my plants
Scrubbed kitchen cabinets
Washed, dried, folded and put away 5 loads of clothes
Washed all throw rugs (let them dry outside)
Washed all window sills and tops of windows inside
Ironed spring linens
Ironed clothes for the work week
Flipped my mattress and changed bedding
Put all furniture back from earlier mopping

And I still remembered to drink my shakes.... I had my dinner soup at 7:30... and still have one more shake to go... 

I am just now getting tired as I post this... I wonder if I will ever have this kind of energy again!

I guess I'll vacuum carpets tomorrow!
