I can't put it off any longer...

In a few short days I will be heading to the hospital for another hip replacement.  Different hip this time.  It is long over due and I have put it off until the last possible minute and I can't stand it any more.  I really needed to do this about a year ago and for sure last fall but in fall I was scared I'd slip on some ice or something and break the whole thing apart and since that would really suck, here I am.  Miserable is a good word to describe me these days.  I am getting little to nothing done and every effort I make is ment with excruciating pain so there isn't much incentive to move around but I must.  I have a long list of things I have to do to get ready for this shindig. 

In preparation, yesterday I had an epidural in my back.  Not my idea of a good time but somehow I have to be able to lay on my back when the deed is done.  I get to go have another epidural next week too, doesn't that sound like fun?  Hopefully I will be able to lay on my back or this thing can't even happen.  What happens when I lay on my back now?   Pain runs down my leg from my back to my foot!  It stops at my ankle and makes it feel like someone is hitting it with a sledge hammer. 

I have to get my house clean and sparkly for being stuck inside it for awhile.

 I need to fill my freezer with cooked food.  I've already started doing that. 

I need to make sure everything I need for a month or so is here before the big day because I won't be going anywhere! This means beading supplies and threads for my Kumihimo weaving table so I can start making cords.

And dog food for a month and all of my bills paid early.  

I have already started making lists of things I need to do because there is so much, sure as heck if i don't write it all down I will forget something!   

I figured I might as well blog about this coming ordeal now since it is consuming so much of my time already so here I am.
