Well, I can't let this day go by without a little post to acknowledge it. It is crazy to me that the event I have been working very hard to get to is a week away!
I'm on Day 4 of the pre-op diet. It hasn't been loads of fun but I am surviving. I had planned to stop coffee yesterday but instead I started weaning myself off last week. It went VERY WELL. And I'm glad I didn't chance having any withdrawal symptoms this week.
I tell you what ... this is not for the faint of heart. I wanted so badly to get a coney at Sonic today. Not a footlong. I haven't done that for many years. But just a regular one. There was no way I would have. My mind is made up. But the longing for it ... it made me sad. And that made me mad. But the bottom line is I'm choosing change. So I pulled in and got my Route 44 ice water. I can't use straws for 12 weeks after surgery so I'm getting my last fix.
Our homeschool co-op had orientation today. It was great to get out and be distracted! Trini got to be a girl and giggle and chat with her friends and I got to meet some great people and help out with registration.
The next few days have a little activity each day which is actually good. But they aren't packed which is good too. Will has his 11th birthday this weekend and I'm looking forward to celebrating his precious life.
A friend told me today that she was proud of me. She said, "What you're doing isn't easy." Those words were balm on a heart that is still working through the mental aspects of this surgery. Nothing has been easy so far and it gets even harder post-op.
I'm so ready. So. Very. Ready.
"He must become more and I must become less." John 3:30
Be blessed and be blessings y'all!
