Well…running a little early today and just wanted to let you know there probably won’t be one of these tomorrow since I’ll be in surgery at 6am and won’t have the laptop with me anyway…so the next one will be wed after I get back here but it will probably be short since surgery recovery is hard when you get old and I’m not sure how I’m going to be feeling…so on to the normal stuff…had an okay day yesterday doing the last of the prep work for surgery and getting all the paperwork in…can’t eat anything between now and the surgery but liquids so I’ll be doing water with some of the runner’s electrolytes in it that my daughter got me…had a soup with chickpeas and ginger yesterday and that was the first time I’d ever had them…I think they are going to be a new ingredient when I make soup later this fall…not going to ride the bike other than to take my absentee ballot for the August primary over to the drop box since I won’t be able to do that after the surgery and it needs to go in….not really feeling apprehensive about the surgery but happy it’s finally going to be over and I can start healing….didn’t sleep much last night and probably won’t tonight with the final prep for the surgery happening tonight and then at around 4 am tomorrow morning….then I’ll sleep for the 3 1/2 hours during surgery and probably a lot overnight tomorrow night…so the next meal won’t be til Tues aft and that makes it a day and a half since my last meal was about 6:30 last night….can’t wait til all of this is over….back Wed…
