January 2014 surgeries

My 3. 16,15,12 are being really good about it... I sat them down a long while ago and made them aware of my intentions and that I am doing this to be a better mum a better grandma NOT BEFORE IM 50 MIND !!! and for them so I can get back to working full time I'm a hairdresser and my back is terrible so I could only manage one client a day. They are excited that I should be able to go on all the rides at the theme park rather than them feeling guilty about me sitting/standing around waiting for them... They are excited to go to a gig with me and I can get up and dance instead of cowering in the corner... It's all these things and sooo many more that are keeping us all positive. And if the worse happens it was for all the right reasons and not all the wrong ones like 10 years time when I drop down dead because my poor hearts had enough... So that alone keeps me going strong. They are our world and we would do ANYTHING for them... I know they'll be tears when I leave but them tears will make me strong and able to come back fighting fit and ready to be super-mum and join in not stand on the sidelines feeling utterly disgusted with myself.

Must say it seems like my whole day is timed and measured with fluids!!!! I must admit sometimes I run a bit behind, and sometimes I don't fit it all in, but I try to miss water/juice rather than a buildup or slim fast. It is getting a bit easier I think, as each day goes by!! But cricket I am missing having something to 'chew' in my mouth, and my mouth and tongue feel awful - despite brushing my teeth and mouth washing numerous times a day! Infact when my 5 year old got home from school and sat next to me and gave me a kiss she said "mummy, have you brushed your teeth today???!!" I can always rely on the kids to be honest!!!!

Whereabouts are you on your journey????
 
Hi salliebeth, that sounds about what I'm expecting but it's easy me sitting thinking about it, must be pretty frustrating in practice! Oh and my mouths tastes horrid on the pre op already, looking forward to it getting worst........:(

I'm being sleeved tomorrow!! Can't believe my time is very nearly here!
