Had my pre-surgical appointment. Bloodwork, nose swab for MRSA, EKG, Urinalysis,vitals. She gave me the pre-surgical protocol. I have to stop some of my vitamins a few days before. She said some impact the kidneys and that the kidneys have to work overtime to get the anesthesia out of you system. Call the cardiologist to get permission to stop the baby Aspirin for a few days. A special soap I have to bathe with for a couple days before the surgery which I've had before. I have to drink a bottle of Gatorade the day before and 1/2 bottle the morning of. A protein powder that I have to use for a few days before and after the surgery. Clean sheets the night before and I'm not supposed to let my cats sleep with me the night before. THAT'S a step too far!

This was stunning! I am 5'5! I used to be almost 5'8. I knew I was 5'6-something but this? I had her do it twice. I still don't believe it. That messes with my identity! Makes me not tall anymore.

Bill went to his diabetes classes and is going to meet with the dietician. I'd help him with.food choices but he won't hear anything I say. Best news is that he got one of the glucose monitoring systems. He could not bring himself to do finger sticks. Medicare used to not pay for them. I'm happy for him.

Gorgeous weather.
