Tough moment to endure — saying good bye to our daughters on days like today. Never easy to explain to a 3 and 4 year old why Mom has tears. Off to grandma and grandpa’s they go again for a bit while I recover. Luckily this round of recovery is much shorter. Fingers crossed we’ll have them back home for the weekend.

I need to be at the hospital at 10:30 today for surgery scheduled at noon, so that gives me another hour or so at home. Needless to say, I’ve not eaten anything since last night and I’m starving just knowing I can’t eat and won’t most likely at all today. So, I stayed upstairs while Bruce had breakfast with the girls … And I think best for me to just stay upstairs away from the kitchen! (Rest assured there are no rice cakes under this roof)

I’m going to run the tub and soak for a bit…in case it’s while before I can do it again. I’m working on being as relaxed as possible and rested before going to the hospital. So, I’m just looking forward to the end of today, back home, with another step of this behind us.
