(not-so) exciting times and life of ....
Tomorrow, Feb. 1, I begin the ending of this chapter which has been surreal. Tomorrow I go to the Burnaby Hospital for the pre-admission clinic, which prepares me for the big day-surgery. At 10:30 Henry and I will learn what my surgery will consist of, what I can expect to happen (hopefully) Feb. 9-just one week away. Just a little miracle, (please God my Father), to have an MRI appointment soon so that my surgery can go ahead. So far there has been no news about that.
On Monday I went to the doc to refill my meds and I explained that I had to sleep so much that my body didn't have time in the waking hours to heal from laying on my back for 10-11 hours in one position-my back was feeling like one huge pressure sore. So instead of figuring out what to do about my sore muscles, he wondered what I could change so that I didn't have to sleep so much-they really do know what's going on. So I've decreased one of my anti-inflammatories in the morning and that was just the ticket to wipe out the need for that extra 2-3-4 hour nap every day. That add's alot to a day when you get it back. So what can I do now that I have 2-4 hours more in my day? Just more TV doesn't do it. There isn't that much on to begin with even when we extended the number of channels we get. So I've been doing a 1000 piece puzzle, which has been really fun (a small thing that makes a huge difference for me right now.) It's hard to know when to invite someone over for "tea" because I didn't know when I'd be on forced nap. My world seems very small now-really small-no stories from work that put so much color into my life. How much I've missed for 2 months already- 2 months tomorrow and more than 2 months to go yet. So keep your blogs up to date-I have lots of time to read them.

now is the perfect time to write a book! You could write your biography or who knows what God could lay on your heart!
Hope you find somthing to pass the time...you could invite some people over for a scrapbooking party and start something new...that way you wouldn't have to go out and get materials, or you could search online for a hobby you can start and have it delivered! Who knows what you could find. There's always sewing:) Ever wanted to knitt a sweater? I'm sure Julia wouldn't mind getting you some materials...right Julia?
Love ya mom.
