Preparation

I've had about 3 weeks notice of my surgery date, in this time, I have been frantic to prepare. Some of the things I have done:

• Purchased/made somewhere around 47 meals and packed them into the deep freezer. I also made an inventory of the meals so that we know what remains.
• Hired someone to come and clean my house once/week.
• Created a schedule for the grandparents/babysitters of when the girls need to be picked-up/dropped-off, taken to activities.
• Picked up/borrowed a FREE shower chair from the church near my house.
• Purchased a Sealtight Cast Protector (I hope I look as sexy as the woman on the box when I use it!)
• Borrowed over 10 books from friends and the library.
• Moved my home office from the basement to the front hall of our house (less than 5 feet from the couch and ~25 from the bathroom/kitchen!)
• Talked with the girls about how mommy is going to have a cast like Abi on Bubble Guppies did when he fell of his bike and broke his tale.
• Chopped 5 inches off my hair.
• Made sure I have pillows both upstairs and downstairs to use for propping (so I don't have to carry them around).
• Put gel polish on my nails (toes and hands!)
• Purchased a few extra pairs of comfy, stretchy pants to go over the splint and cast.
• Cleaned, cleaned, cleaned and organized, organized, organized!
• Started this blog!

I'm ready to go!
