GETTING READY FOR THE BIG CUTS

I'm trying to get caught up on everything before my surgeries next week.  Eyelids on Monday, lipo on Wednesday.

It's the end of our winter bowling league and the beginning of the summer league.  I had to get all the prize money ready to be distributed on May 4, plus line up a sub for me for April 27.  Set up the end of season luncheon.  Get ready for the summer league meeting.

I went in this morning and prebowled 12 games - 2 weeks for my Monday ladies league and 2 weeks for the new summer league.  The more tired I got, the better I bowled.  My teammates should be happy with the scores.  My Wednesday team is tied for first place and the deciding games are next week.  My Monday team is currently in first place with 4 weeks to go.

I still need to get all the laundry done and the house dusted and vacuumed (yuck!).  Make sure I have enough food in the house and that Maggie has her medications.  I don't plan on going out of the house for a few days, at least until some of the swelling and the black eyes go away.  I'm not going to be a pretty sight!

But I am really looking forward to having this work done.  I'm so tired of looking tired all the time - the eyelid surgery should help in that aspect.  And to be rid of this spare tire I've been carrying around - that's worth any pain and discomfort I might have.

I'll take some pictures after the surgery and might post them if they're not too bad.

Bring on the knife!!!

Lynne, good for you! I wish you plenty of anesthesia and plenty of pain meds! And, a soft, bed to lie in as you recover. I am anxious to know how it goes. I've considered lipo...but would have to go somewhere else to get it...would not trust the docs around here for that. Will be thinking of you...good luck!

I'm wishing you all the very best of luck with your procedures!! I can well imagine how excited you are and even though you know there will be pain and such afterward, it will all be worth it when you see the "new" you:-) As my mother always said to me when I'd tell her she was hurting me when she was making ringlets in my hair as a little girl...."you have to suffer to be beautiful"!! lol xoxo

I thought this was some kind of laser surgery -- is that with a knife? I don't know what I thought - somehow some thing just zapped everything without an incision? Well, good luck, girl. You have more guts than I!
