Speaking of surgery, the other day I made a to-do list of things I wanted to get done before my surgery date. So let's see how I am doing on my list and what I still need to work on:
Take the kids to get a new outfit and tennis shoes for schoolClean/straighten up our bedroomAll trash out to curbStraighten boys' roomGo to library to get books for recovery timeClean out the corner of the living room where I will be spending much of my time recovering- sweep living room, including under tv stand
- dust living room
doctor appointmentmark school suppliesmenu plan for this week and next week- write and schedule book review blog posts
- pack bag for hospital
- mop kitchen, dining room and bathroom floors
pay ALL bills for the rest of the monthInvoice and mail bills for 2 tutoring clients that still owetext Dad to see if he can take Rebecca next Sunday to a showFill out paperwork for schoolSchool open houses for kidsKids back to school- Chore chart for kids for back to school
Today I haven't felt too bad. I did have a panic attack last night when I thought about next week, but I know that is normal. I took the kids to school today and then made a run to Kroger to get milk, yogurt and junk food to get through this weekend and for hubby for next week. Then I came home and laid down to rest. I find that I can be on my feet for a little bit and then if I sit and/or lay to rest then it is better for my body.
I am hoping to get the rest of the cleaning done this weekend as I think I will be too busy stressing on Monday-- LOL. Actually I have a pre-op appointment at the hospital Monday and I am taking Monday to just try to relax.
Well, I need to go feed the kiddos (it's pizza and movie night!)...Hope everyone has a lovely Friday night!
The only person who is going to care about the dust is you. Give each kid a rag, one dollar and have them do the best they can. All that bending and sweeping is not good. Your body is telling you to stop so do it. You don't want a longer recovery and then your house will be really dusty. Your dd seems like she will be a big help, let her. Prayers for you to be calm and the surgery go well. Cheryl
ReplyDeleteDon't go into surgery exhausted. Take it easy beforehand.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Linda kick back. That said, I went on a cleaning spree before I had surgery so I know what's going on in your head. Take care of yourself.
