    3 more days
    Thursday the 29 th is the day that I am having my surgery. YAY!!! I am so excited to finally get it over with. It has been a year and half that I have waited for this and now it's finally here.

    I went for my preops last Monday the 19th and by the time I got home they had called and left me a message telling me that my blood glucose was 507 and I needed to get to my family Dr. or ER as soon as I could. It was after 5 when I got home so that left the ER but I chose to wait until the next day to go to my family Dr. She put me on insulin (Humulin R) injections. I give myself shots 4 times a day now and the dose is adjusted to my glucose reading. Surprisingly my the shots don't hurt at all, whew!!!

    Tomorrow I go for an Echo Cardiogram and that should be all of the pre surgery tests. The preop center called me Friday around noon to come up there to have one done then, but of course it's a 2 hour drive up and they hadn't made an appointment yet so I doubted if I could have made it then and said Tuesday would be better in the afternoon. Well of course no one listens so I have to be up there bright and early. I will just have to get up at the crack of dawn, not good for someone that isn't a morning person. lol


    Thought I would show you the place I would the next few days. I think it will be 10 East but then everything changes. The hospital sure has undergone the changes since my grandmother was there in late 70's with Renal failure. She had to travel up there twice a week for Dialysis for 2 and half years so I got to know the place pretty good. Now it's all different with new buildings and additions to the original hospital. Sure don't look like the same place.


    Well Friends if all goes well I should be back in no time at all and on the losers bench. So please take care and happy stitching.

    Sneak Peek

    I did not work on Chief at all this week as I am trying to hurry and finish the secret stitching project. You can see on the right side part of my Q-snaps, don't you just love Q-snaps. I sure do and they make life so much easier. The colors in this are fantastic with a lot purple's and yellow's, I am so excited about this stitch. Sorry I can't show you more as I am afraid it will give it away.
    .
    I went Monday to my Surgeon's office and guess who has a surgery date. YAY!!! Come May 29th at 11:30 am I will have surgery for gastric bypass and help my hernia. He said he isn't going to repair the hernia just yet as it will come back after all the weight loss, but he will get the stuck intestine out and put a stitch in so it won't go back in. That will be a relief in itself from the pain and I won't have to be so careful. I haven't been able to lift more then 5 pounds this past year and half or put any strain at all due to it being very dangerous of cutting the intstines off. So I will be able to lift my girls (Yorkies). YAY!!! The Dr. was very happy when he came into the room cause I lost 56 pounds since Sept., I lost 4 pounds over last week. YAY!!! He asked for 25 pounds so I gave him 56, just couldn't help myself. lol As we were leaving I could hear him over telling all his nurses that I lost so much on my own. :) Sure makes a person feel good when a Dr. was bragging on ya.
    .
    That's another reason I am postponing the Chief, due to surgery. The Chief has been in the process for a year now, what's another few more weeks. I do need to finish the secret project before surgery.
    .
    I will post the photos of the flowers budding in my yard in a few days, maybe tomorrow. I hope you have a very creative weekend and week.
