I spent the better part of Sunday with my Mum at the nursing home. I had not gone to bed till after 5 that morning but was up by 10 or so and not really moving all that fast lol I have not danced like that for years, like 10 years ;-/ sad part is those few minutes of dancing felt like I had been dancing all night. In 2 and a 1/2 minutes I get what seems like an hour of cardio. Probably a good thing I am taking those nasty prescriptions . . . did I just say that??!!?? So far I cannot tell if they are working or not, guess time will tell.
Well, now it's Day 2, shazzammm! just like that. I took my blood pressure this morning, just out of curiosity lol and it was 135/84 which is the best it's been in a long time so perhaps those pills are working ;-D At least they are not giving me side effects I cannot deal with. Taking an extra nap here and there because they make me sleepy, never hurt anyone {rolls eyes}
Anyway, I am seriously wondering why I made the countdown wind down with the operation day being Day 1?!? Probably so that when it got to Day 2, I would think I still had another day lol the things we do to reassure ourselves. I started out this morning with a fairly long list of things I needed to accomplish before tomorrow. . . . and do you think at 3:15 in the afternoon, that I have done any of them??? It's like I keep thinking that there are way more important things to take care of or something or other people I should be contacting. . . for goodness sake, you'd think I was dying or rather than just a below knee amputation ;-/ The build-up to these things almost always causes a "let down" of sorts. LOL I guess this could be a HUGE let down LOL I really haven't a clue what to expect dispite all my research {shakes head} How could I? I have never experienced this before. Yet, that doesn't affect my fear levels, it's just a fact that soon will change.
omgosh! My mother just called me from the hospital upset and confused, stating that she was dropped off there by cab and just left, she didnt know how she was going to get back home! When it rains, it pours it seems or perhaps it is nothing but a well placed distraction to keep me from thinking too much about the surgery lol. It ended up with my eldest daughter going first to help her; getting a ride from my middle daughter and then my boyfriend and I picked her up. Gees louise, what else? I am exhausted and we haven't even started yet. I barely got to eat before my midnight deadline and as I type I can hear the wind outside howling, sigh, well, tomorrow or today I guess now at 1:15 in the morning, is another day and it will be just as glorious as any other day, only for me it will be the first day of the rest of my life and I will welcome it with open arms <3 Peace
I would just like to say thank you for all the prayers and well wishes, even though my day today was more chaotic than I had hoped, I was overwhelmed {in a good way} by the sheer amount of positive energy that has been sent my way, especially today. I really appreciate it, more than words are able to say; may God bless you and keep you all xo
