T Minus 20 Days

I can't believe I'm 20 days out till surgery... yikes. I have really been distracted this month and time is flying by. I'm happy to say I am in the process of moving!! I am very excited to be moving in with my boyfriend and his 8 year old son. It's just crazy how everything happens at once. When we were trying to figure out timing, it was either NOW or wait a few months until after my surgery when I'm able bodied. So, we are in a mad dash to get everything moved in and organized so that I can have a week of sanity before we leave for New Hampshire on Oct. 11th.

We will also be celebrating one year dating on Oct. 17, the day after surgery. We will mark the occasion by Jeff wiping spit and blood from my chin and toasting plastic syringes.

Hip hip hooray!

my new man:) he has recently asked if I will be able 
to eat tacos without a knife and fork after my surgery.

    My surgery is Friday - I'll try to post updates afterward to keep people filled in!!
    It goes by quickly!!

  10. 17 days now, so excited for you. The last minute move is stressful I'm sure, but it will keep you busy enough to not stress yourself sick over the surgery. The six weeks prior to my surgery were more hectic than I'd ever experienced (family staying with me for a month, Keir moved back in 2 weeks before surgery) but in hindsight, it really helped my mind to stay crazy busy.
    You will soon be crunching tacos the proper way(he is too cute). And let me tell you, it's a strangely amazing experience!

  11. Good luck with your move, I hope it all goes smoothly! It must be so exciting to have surgery right around the corner, have you gotten your supplies/needed foods in place? It also seems you have a wonderful support team that will be there for you post-op :) !!!

    Take care
