Watching Football while on a liquid diet

Jan 14, 2018

Fun Fact about me...I lived in New Orleans for about 6 years not too long ago and became a huge Saints fan.  I was living there the last time they won the Superbowl and partied down in the French Quarter when they won.  So I am super excited that they came back from a 0-2 start to win thier division and make the playoffs.  Living in Virginia now, we usually have to hit a restaurant to watch the regular season games, but luckily the playoffs are on across the country.  I say luckily because I am on my pre-op liquid diet and I am slightly hangry. Ok I am really hangry!! So I am better off in my living room then going to a restaurant and watching other people eat, including my dear husband.  My plan rigt now is to make myself some beef broth and enjoy the game. Oh well, I am calling this preparation for wathcing the Superbowl post-op.  

I am working from home tomorrow because my daughter is off from school and I want to spend some extra time with her tomorrow, because she is super nervous about me having surgery.  She actually went to my pre-op appointment with me to meet the surgeon and ask him some questions.  She said that she wanted to make sure that his hands did not shake.  LOL. After the appointment, she said that he was good.  

Yesterday, we found out that she won't be able to come up to the hospital to see me after my surgery until late, because she has an open house for rising 9th graders at her high school.  So instead of getting picked up after school to come to the hospital, my husband will have to rush home and feed her and then go to the open house.  I am bummed because I am usually the person that does all the school related things and of course I have agenda of the things that I want to make sure she finds out about...AP classes, the sports that she loves and student council.  Trying to prep the college application early.  My husband with his PhD..is so much more laid back.  He figures that she will go to the college that she is meant to go to and everything will work out.  I am more of a strive for the best and push yourself kind of person.  Oh well they will do fine!! 

I am ready to get through the next day and half and go in for my surgery Tuesday.
