1) stairlift installed at Dad's yesterday. This is a big step towards increased freedom. They have been getting out but Paul won't have to drive to the back door on the grass now I'm so happy they did this!

2) onto soft foods (next phase already!) and only 2 weeks out from surgery. Stopped at grocery store last night to get watermelon, flavoured yogurt and raspberries

3) got to talk on the phone with one of my surgeons and the nutritionist yesterday. They are so helpful and supportive!

4) like Paula, I LOVE amazon and order so much from there. This week, it was Premier Protein chocolate shake mix and Vitamin B (which nutrionist said I need in addition to the multi they gave me

5) we usually have a party in the fall around this time but I'm glad we have decided not to this year. That way, when people see me in the spring, they will be SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF. LOL It's all about me!
