Staying busy, although I slept in today

Two days till surgery and two days from five weeks since the last. I've officially shed all the water weight I had from swelling after the surgery... I'm down to 213 lbs from an original 328 3-4 years ago, so I've lost a total of 115 lbs. The incision is healing really well. Halfway through my leave, and I am not bored but am rested. Yesterday, I made time to study Latin both from my Wheelock text and from Mango via my library card. I am very rusty, and I used to be pretty proficient. I've done things I never make the time for, like that. A lot has been appointments and that range of motion bike, and we watch 'Desperate Housewives' at dinner every night but Friday (there's always some show; this is just the current one, because we'd been watching another Marc Cherry show prior, and I really enjoyed it, so I said I'd give it a try). Last night I was up to 3 AM updating the 'what to do if anything happens to me' document, not to be morbid, but to be practical, and I didn't manage to before the first surgery. With the exception of one piece of information I need to call on tomorrow, I'm finished. I'm also going to call the ROMTech rep back who left me a message during PT on Friday, as she thought she was delivering a device and I just need a new patient number and know how to put it in, since I already have one, from what I've been told. I did call Saturday and left a message, but I want to make sure she got it since the surgery is the next day. Not being able to do business today is making it harder... I had no clue about the holiday until it was mentioned at PT. My days all run together. But for those of you who have been working hard, enjoy your time off!!!
