Hoping you feel back to normal by thanks giving.a fresh turkey breast sounds good although I prefer the thigh myself.
Hoping that you have all of the pre op instructions and testing done so you can just try to gear up for surgery with out having to worry about getting other medical stuff done.

Glad things are going well. Keep up the good work.

I haven't heard anything from urgent care, so I guess the throat culture came back negative, which is good (but not surprising) news
My throat feels even better today

At this point, I'm trying to assume no news is good news all around, but I can't shake the feeling that the surgery is never going to happen. I don't know why. Maybe it's because it's already been postponed once? IDK, but I don't like the feeling. I'm not telling the surgeon about my sore throat at this point because I KNOW I'll be feeling better before the surgery. 3 days later I'm MUCH better with 8 days left to go.

8 days seems like such a short period of time, but at the same time, it seems like a long time away. I have most things planned out, with the exception of cleaning, but the only appointment I have scheduled is a manicure, so I have plenty of time to get that done...
I will have to do cleaning for Thanksgiving over the next two days, but all of that will have to be redone before I go into the hospital. I want to leave the place clean, so hopefully it will still be fairly clean by the time I come home.

I lucked out yesterday and was able to get a fresh turkey breast at my regular supermarket, so I didn't have to make a special trip to somewhere else! I can't remember when/if that's happened. They had very few, and I got the only one that was left in the size-range I was looking for
I will go grocery shopping one more time before surgery, but it will be mainly for Corey. I will be on clear liquids the following day. Possibly that day. IDK yet.

I think the way your feeling is normal when its such an important thing.

I know when I was waiting on my second surgery I worried the whole
week before it wouldn't be able to happen. I even worried the morning
I went to the hospital because I knew any rash and I'd be delayed.

But it happened for me, it will for you. Just keep telling yourself that.

I'm sending good thoughts your way.

Donna

Thank you, Donna (((HUGS)))
That does make me feel a little better.

Corey told me I'm being silly because the only reason they rescheduled the surgery is because they never should have scheduled it for the day before Thanksgiving in the first place, so everything will be okay.
Maybe this feeling is just coming from anxiety about the surgery in general? IDK.

I don't think I'm going to go in with polish on my nails. I want to, but I don't want to give them a reason not to do the surgery.

Today is the first day of 5 days (3 times a day) I have to drink the protein shakes they gave me. I had one this morning, and it was disgusting, but I will manage to get them down. It's probably going to be hard to remember to drink the one in the afternoon tho.

I texted my aunt to ask her if she needed me to bring anything over for Thanksgiving, and what time I should be there, and she took that to mean that I would be having dinner with them. She got PO'ed when I told her she was mistaken, and I would still only be going over to visit, and told me to just come over "whenever." But I don't want to sit around while my aunt is cooking and nobody else is there, so I don't know when I should to go over there. I guess I will ask my brother and sister when they will be heading over.

I dragged my heels yesterday, so I have quite a bit of cleaning to do today. It's doable if I don't sit on my butt all morning again tho.

yes ask your other family members...just go for dessert.

Dessert would be way too late. I have my own cooking to do.

We have a group text going about Thanksgiving and I asked my brother and sister when they were coming, and they pretty much put it on me. Growing up, we always had "dinner" on the holidays at 1pm, but my aunt usually doesn't have it ready until 2 now. So, I said I would "shoot for 11:30." I guess that's when they'll be coming, too.

I'm hoping this year my sister doesn't s- on me. I'm not going to take it. I always dread having to see her. It's like she can't help herself.

The good news is I don't have a sore throat anymore, so those worries are over
