Hi Y'all... I had my pre-op exam with my Primary Care Physician today... the first words out of his mouth were,
"Aren't you EXCITED?" I said, "Yes, nervous and excited..." He thought I should just be
PLAIN OLD EXCITED and said that he's excited for me!
It's nice to have the positives... He congratulated me for doing this for myself...
I passed my pre-op physical with flying colors... answering his battery of questions about my health - I finally said "I'm just a healthy old fat lady!" My Dr. chuckled...
Other than my knee, that feels pretty great right now --- no complaints.
(He has no problem with me returning the knee brace, btw...)
=========
I had a pedicure with a friend this afternoon --- that was relaxing and felt sooo good!
=========
Met with a former co-worker for an art project her company has hired me to do (international distribution of KTOON art! you may see me in the UK yet)
=========
Had my "last dinner" with my BFF and told her all about my surgery... It's snowing pretty hard - so we stuck to town and had a DISAPPOINTING meal... but a good time together. She's all worried about me getting smaller than her - and promises to step up her own healthy eating plans...
=========
TOMORROW: The start of the dreaded 2-week protein shakes!!!
G U L P ! ! ! It's the big countdown now....
