One step closer....

Today I went in for my pre-op lab work. I was there forever! Guess actually having an appointment doesn't mean much. Anyhoo.... once I was finally seen I had to meet with a nurse and go over all of the paperwork and she gave me instructions for surgery day. I have to be there at 12:45 and my surgery will be at 2:15. No food or water or ANYTHING after 8am.

Then it was off to another room and another nurse that took my blood, 4 vials worth, and did an EKG. I wasn't expecting that but it took about 2 minutes. And the nurse got a vein with the first stick so KUDOS to her. With veins like mine that is a miracle! After the EKG I was off to have a chest X-ray. It was painless. Then I was shown the door.

I've been eating SO badly lately. Honestly, I am about sick of food altogether. Tonight we went to Cici's. Nothing good ever comes from a buffet. The cinnamon roll thingys were awesome though! No more Cici's for me but I don't think I'll be missing it! Not when I can put on smaller pants!

This weekend will be the final indulgence... The State Fair of Texas! There will be corn dogs, funnel cake and maybe even deep fried banana pudding if I feel so inclined. It's no wonder we are all so fat! Where else in the world would deep fried banana pudding be??

On a good note, this is week 2 of Brenna's daycare. Brandon said when he dropped her off this morning she didn't even cry!! That is fantastic news!! Let's just hope it continues!
