What to do the day of surgery when it isn’t until 5:00 pm?

• Slept till 10:30 am with a few interruptions
• Can’t leave the house due to aftershocks from the prep.
• No eating or drinking….
• Dream about the mac and cheese I just saw on Martha Stewart. Maybe Abbye will make me some of her famous mac and cheese while I am recovering.
• Don’t have to spend much time getting ready can’t wear makeup or any jewelry. Did get a new outfit to wear to the hospital Megan and Jen helped me pick it out.
• Change the sheets on my bed
• Clean my bathroom….Maybe I will leave it for Bryan
• Do some online shopping sounds like a better idea!
• Watch a chick movie

Today is Monday and I should be in the office wrapping up from yesterday, but I am prepping for removal of the “orange“. I am actually looking forward to surgery because the pain is pretty intense.  I never thought I would say that I was ready for surgery. I have been trying to prevent surgery since the end of September, but now I am ready.

So here is what I will be doing over the next two weeks:

• Prepping today (trust me no fun)
• Surgery tomorrow
• Laying low the rest of this week
• On Sunday, February 3rd my team has it under control with Megan handling anything that comes her way.
• Monday, February 4th, Valerie Bowden is meeting me at the house to plan our next Club Rock theme “Shipwrecked Island” for March and April.
• Working on VBS and long range goals for this year.
• Sunday,February 10th be back at service.
