Day 14: Day trip: I took a day trip to work[emoji57] Its a 45Mins drive sans traffic so that ought to count. I have not had the balls to return to muscle class so did some yin yoga last night and it felt "easy" after muscle class [emoji2] Day 15: My 8 year old is the artistic soul in the family. She drew a picture of Girl's scout troop logo that she wanted a cake made out of for their welcome party on Saturday. We both colored it together and she judged me and said I colored in the line ? I'm not making it to the gym today because 1. I'm shockingly having mini freak out moments in anticipation of surgery tomorrow. 2. I'm shockingly tired/weak from clear liquid diet that I seriously only have to do a day before surgery!!! I'm making the clear liquids sugar free and I guess my body is just getting the memo![emoji25] As I go into surgery, I want to dramatically take this moment to thank each and everyone of you. Can't describe the value of the support but I hope you can tell how sincerely grateful I am for ALL the words of wisdom, inspiration and motivation!![emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji7][emoji7] I pray I see you on the other side soon.[emoji169][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169]

Welcome Selena! Good luck and you have a community here!

Going through vacation withdrawal blues!!![emoji25][emoji25] Kids are back in school and summer vacation over!! Some pictures from Mexico a few weeks ago, reminiscing......

Hey August Sibs[emoji112][emoji112] When you read people going through a freak out when it's close to surgery day and yours is so far off, one thinks that can't be me, I'm super charged and eager!? Well now me soon and I sincerely have had occasional freak out moments! I feel like I don't recall all I've learned or like I don't know enough [emoji33][emoji33] or I'm not prepared! I've read and reread my preop notes and still feel like I'm missing something and I don't have enough time to get it! Arghhhhhhhh! Anyway, Surgery on Friday and I'll continue to meditate and know that I have this forum, my surgical team and my social support (cue in my clueless hubby who keeps looking at me with a side eye [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]) to aid in time of need![emoji106] Hope you guys that had surgery today and yesterday are doing great. You are in our thoughts and prayers for speedy recovery [emoji169][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169]????[emoji173][emoji173][emoji173][emoji173][emoji173]

Thanks Karen!! Don't know how I missed your comment. I LOVE "Bad moms"! One of my mommy and me night was spent watching that movie and I laughed so hard as we all could identify. I hope you are feeling and doing better?? [emoji169][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169]

Day 13: Thanks to this challenge that is expanding my horizon, I went to muscle class instead of studio cycle at the gym today and I barely got to the 30mins mark before I begged off[emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji22]. Luckily I was by the door so I stylishly snuck out!! THAT WAS HARD!!!!!!! I still hurt all over! Makes spin class look like babycakes! Listen to a podcast: I didn't get to this. I do have a list that I made from suggestions on this forum.....hoping to get to it as I recuperate from surgery. Best lie: hmmm......[emoji848][emoji848] my family knows not to include me in a lie or conspiracy as I give it up inadvertently! No joke! It takes energy and concentration that I occasionally lack. That being said, I lied to a colleague who is a serious arrogant showboat that I couldn't attend an event he invited me to (which was primarily to show off) because I will be out of town!!....I don't regret the lie [emoji57]

The first date is arbitrary until surgery is scheduled then you get another approval with the right date. Congratulations [emoji169][emoji169]

I absolutely agree!!! Beautiful![emoji108]

Wow!!! What an inspiring difference!! It's like a father/son picture!! Well done!![emoji122][emoji122]

Well done!!! You look abfab!!!!![emoji108]

Thanks!![emoji169][emoji169][emoji169]

Bwahahahahahaha ?????? That was me!!!!!
