117.6

Great dinner out with SIL and BIL (her brother) last night. DH and he seemed to get along well. He is a lot like my deceased DH in looks and intellect. I have thought at various times that both DHs would have liked each other.

The free Premier Protein is ALL chocolate and neither I nor SIL like that flavor. I was hoping it would be an assortment. They must have an excess of chocolate. SIL is going to donate them to the food pantry.

Today is our next to last full day at the house here before I leave for Florida. Likely a day of laundry and more packing. I am packing for our Bar Harbor trip as well as Florida. Hard to coordinate it all. I did determine my wake/funeral clothing yesterday. The dress I was afraid wouldn't fit was a little bit big but I was able to take it in so it fits now. It is the dress I bought for DH's funeral and I don't believe I have worn it since then.

Have a fantastical Friday!

No weight for the foreseeable future. I'm really swollen but pain is well controlled! I'm moving around prey good for it only being 2 days post op.

I did take all the bandages and compression stuff off yesterday to take a shower and then put them back on!(well, DH did). So far incisions are looking good. I have a lot of swelling in my lady parts (sorry Peps) and am very bruised there too. Really the only place between my ribs and knees that is not compressed so I think all the extra fluid, blood is accumulating there.

Hello fresh this week is premade meals that DH can just heat up in the microwave. They are only okay. Nothing much else to report. Just gotta lay low!

Oh yeah - I remember that compression stuff. Feels good when you can get rid of it but very necessary now.
