Headed out today for a dental cleaning (and then later, a pedicure & manicure) pre-op, figuring I couldn't do so for at least a month post-op due to the blood thinners. Chiropractor. Grocery. Dry cleaners. Supermarket for things we didn't get at Whole Foods on Thursday night. Japanese market for some stuff. Then off to BB&B for a microwavable rice cooker (one of the best inventions ever). Came home and promptly put up dinner for the husband. Otherwise been vegetating a bit here.
But one good tidbit I managed to get from my dental hygenist was that folks who are on a high protein diet or who use high protein shakes should really use electric toothbrushes, as the proteins fuse to the teeth, thus causing a rapid accumulation of plaque/tartar/calculus/whatever. Useful information! Once I go back to work, I should make a point of brushing after my morning shakes.
Color on toes: Linkin Park After Dark by Opi.
Mood: Resigned, yet relaxed. There will be plenty of time for me to have a HOLY SHIT breakdown before the 19th.
Not sure how much more prepared I should get. Bought more broth, Jello, and some Gatorade. So far this has been a lot of $$$; but fortunately for me insurance covers the procedure, so I guess things could be far more expensive.
Last things to work on:
Overtime report for work (going to compile and format it, then email it to a coworker to print out);
Pack bag;
Phone-in appt w/therapist on Tues;
Drop off paperwork at office on Tues;
Drop off/pick up laundry tomorrow;
Sit and knit with some friends tomorrow;
Clean CPAP, mask and hose to make hospital ready.
