17 Days!

Sep 24, 2012

Well, time has really slowed down. I couldn't believe how fast time was going at first. The last couple of weeks has been dragging by! 17 more days to  go. I am so completely ready for this. Didn't need to purchase or prepare anything. I will be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks after surgery. Since my tonsillectomy, I haven't been able to eat anything sugar free, which is really upsetting. So it looks like I will be having lots of broth. Hopefully I will be able to drink some protein shakes. Since I had my tonsillectomy, I haven't been able to have anything sugar free, or even sweets like chocolate anything, all of it tastes like metal to me. Very depressing. Though I hear that will go away and I will gain my taste back after a few months. So far though, it's not getting any better. Time will tell though.

So, here I sit, waiting. Ready to be on the other side. Ready to be a loser. Ready to start my new life. :)

My goals for after surgery are many.....
1. Be comfortable in the car for more than 30 minutes.
2. Be able to go to kids school and walk around for open house without getting winded from the stairs.
3. Cross my legs. I haven't done this since high school.
4. Touch my toes.
5. Dress without having to sit on the bed to put pants and socks and shoes on.
6. Ride rollercoasters again. Haven't done this since high school.
7. Reduce pain in my knees.
8. Be able to exercise with little to no pain.
9. ZUMBA! Enough said!
10. Wear clothes that the first number doesn't begin with a 2 or 3.
11. Go clothes shopping in a "normal" store.
12. Be able to do activities with my kids.
13. Sleep comfortably.
14. Fit into a NFL, NHL jersey that is purchased from my local store and not online to get the biggest size and even those don't fit.
15. Be able to go back to college and walk the campus.
16. To go back to working full time without pain.
17. To park anywhere in a lot and walk to the front door.
18. Bungee Jumping! Again, enough said!
19.To be comfortable in my own skin again.

I am sure there is so much more that I can't think at the moment. But shouldn't that be enough? No person should ever have a list this long to feel better about themselves and to be comfortable. I have put myself into this position, but will reach each and every one of my goals and then some. I'm taking back my life and punching it in the face! :)

Time to go for now. I'm sure I will update again before surgery.
