Today is 3 days to go! This train is speeding to the next stop faster than I would like it to. It feels weird to have no upcoming events or busy weekends to distract my mind with.
I am being kind to my body in preparation. I'm juicing again, still slathering my radiotherapied skin with coconut oil and moo goo, aerobics each morning and getting some mobility range back into my radio'd shoulder and 'preparing for surgery' meditation twice a day - the Bluebell Wood!
Meditation is helping heaps - I've stopped chewing the inside of my mouth subconsciously :)
The edema in my feet and calves are still tight at night, although I've been able to wear normal shoes which is so much better. I've pulled back on the endone in preparation for surgery. I had some acupuncture with laser instead of needles and it seemed to help heaps. Actually falling asleep easily and not thrashing the legs around so much at night.
I have been gradually preparing the kids for my absence, although I seem to be running out of time to do things. Alex stayed home 'sick' on Monday knowing that I was not working that day. I think he wanted to hang out with me for a bit before I go into hospital. They all seem to be coping okay otherwise. We celebrated Andres' birthday early so he was happy. We'll have another happy birthday on his birthday night. At least Nana and Poppy will be here to celebrate his birthday with him too.
A wonderful surprise showed up on my doorstep last night from 3 of my girlfriends, a Sussan voucher and a triangle pillow - I was very touched by the gesture and was only talking about getting a triangle pillow yesterday. The power of thought! So thank you lovely ladies, Carolyn, Sonia and Jill, it felt like a bit warm hug going into this next experience.
I cant think straight to add much more to this blog entry right now, there is too much going around in my head :( I'm trying to pack for hospital which is not easy at all - what to take????? I need to google.
Night, night.
