Yup, we went out tonight. Drove 15 miles at 5 degrees F with a strong cross wind so I could take her to Applebee's, but when we got there the parking lot was packed and had spilled into the lot of the motel next door. If you can't park it, you can't go in, and the noise level would have been frightful anyway!

So we went to a little restaurant the locals go to, good food, low prices, nothing fancy. The special was a 10 oz. sirloin, but Peanut had breakfast instead. Two eggs (scrambled), two sausage links, two pieces of French toast (no syrup), and two mugs of hot chocolate (hold the whipped cream.) I had a grilled chicken fajita salad, and it was really good. I left a lot of lettuce, but nothing interesting.

After we came home, I got a crock pot of chili ready for a church potluck tomorrow while she enjoyed the last peanuts Peanut will have for a month or more, and then we had some Blue Bunny SF ice cream bars. And then I had a fresh peach!

Tomorrow morning, she's back on the oh-so-enjoyable pre-op liquid diet everyone raves (or is it "rants"?) about. Then we countdown again.

This next month is going to be an interesting one. Her surgery in 10 days, mine in 20! She'll be eating again by April, I'll be able to use my left arm again by what ... July? August? At least Peanut is looking forward to her surgery!!

You forgot the In-laws too! When do they arrive? This is probably a good thing now that you are having so much pain and will be having surgery. Timing is not so good for you. I'm thinking this surgery is going to be a faster healer than your last one....you are much healthier now and you have a gardent to plant in a few months.

I always find it interesting what we choose to eat for our last supper. I had pizza. Now I don't even really like it.

Wishing Peanut all the best on the liquids.

I don't remember what I had for my last supper. I think it was at Cracker Barrel because it was right by the freeway as we were coming home from the Cities. But the nurse gave me permission to cheat on my liquid pre-op one time, so I may have had something for Christmas dinner a few days before my operation.

My step-step-mother, or whatever the formal relation is is flying in the day after Peanut's surgery. I'll bail Peanut out of the hospital and settle her in the hotel, then head out to the airport to pick her up. The reason I put off my surgery until the last day of spring break is so I'll be able to drive her back to the airport when she goes home. If it were Peanut's folks, I'd schedule the surgery while they were here and spend the whole time under the influence of narcotics!!

I know Prefesser will be on later but for now I'll answer you since I'm here....teehee

He is having rotator surgery 10 days after Peanuts RNY. This is his second one and he knows whats coming. Long healing time along with the pain.

May God give peanut the strength to withstand that oh so lovely liquid diet. Hugs and good luck to both of you.
