mysterious shrinking lady's Journal, 31 October 2011

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS FROM THE LAND OF THE WIMPS!!! Halloween is nearly over and I have survived. I was not abducted by the Goblins or the Apparition Americans. I valiantly fought off an invasion of viral vanishing vampires with vim and vigor. Again this year G celebrated her birthday by getting on her broom and flying around the neighborhood scaring children and snatching their treats.

Last week I spent much of my time at the doctor's office and the hospital. The staff there educated me, inspected me, injected me, suspected me, and disrespected me. I have been introduced to everyone who will oversee my care, including the person who will empty my trash. I have been so exhausted and in a lot of pain. The last thing I wanted to do was spend all day every day at the hospital last week. I did want to make certain that I did every thing required to have a successful surgery with no last minute problems. The long wait is finally over!

My surgery is scheduled for 7:30am. I have to arrive at the hospital by 6:00am on Wednesday morning. I'm told it will take about two hours to complete. I will remain in the hospital for 3-4 days. Then I will be transferred to a rehab facility for about 2 weeks. I toured the place last week also and I am suitably impressed with what they have to offer. Once I get to rehab, I will be able to have Minerva with me to facilitate communication. I am thrilled that I will be in an institution where G will not be allowed to terrorize the residents. I am so looking forward to this! I'm sure G will be thrilled to have me out of her house for a time also.

I apologize for not being in contact, and I ask your forgiveness. I am amazed that you still have been commenting on my last entry. I would like to send you all a private message thanking you for your love and support, but I can't. I have waited a long time for this operation and losing the extra weight has been difficult at times. I never could have achieved this without all of precious, wonderful people who have encouraged me. Thank you for allowing me into your life and for sharing your life with me. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

I WISH EVERYONE A HEALTHY, HAPPY, PRODUCTIVE NOVEMBER! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Oh what an image, Tracy! Pammie probably won't come back until you're feeling better, so I hope you get better quickly too.
