9 Days to Surgery (and counting)

Feb 27, 2010

Trying desperately to meet my goal of not gaining weight prior to my surgery - I should get there - but with guests staying with us it's a bit difficult as we are eating out more than usual and I also cooked a fab full english breakfast yesterday which was lovely.

We will get back on track today with a selection of fresh fruit and yogurt for breakfast plus croissants for those who want them !

Each day a new parcel arrives either from the UK or the US - I have been busy getting in things for after my surgery including a few books about life after surgery, a bullet type food blender, mini storage pots, camelback drink cups etc.

I've done all my food shopping now so have in lots of broths, Koolaid and protein shakes etc.

Also treated myself to some new Nightware - a mixture of Nightdresses and PJ's so I have plenty of choice in hospital plus recovery.  I had a hysterectomy 1 1/2 years ago and remember spending a lot of my spare time in my PJ's afterwards because they were nice and comfortable for lounging in at home so will get lots of wear out of them.

It's beginning to get hotter here - it was 99 F yesterday in the day, followed by an awesome thunder and lightening storm in the evening - followed then by major flooding during our drive home from dinner - at least I know my 4x4 can swim now !!

We were close to the Burj Khalifa (tallest tower in the world) and it always gets hit by lightening - didn't see it get struck last night but there are some great photos of it being struck on the internet.

Anyway off to prepare the fruit and see what sites the day takes us to today.

Take Care
Debbie
