My body literally feels like it is running on fumes. Like I stated in my last post, my body is feeling very anxious about my surgery. So what comes along with that anxiety? Lack of appetite that’s what and it’s really taking it’s toll. Like for example, yesterday I had a little coffee in the morning (not even a full mug), mozzarella sticks for lunch, and a bowl of Frosted Flakes for dinner. The mozzarella sticks I ate because I knew if I didn’t eat my body would be miserable in an hour…so I had to eat something and it was convenient to work. Here it is Wednesday night, two days before surgery…I got off work a little early, came home rested for a few moments, then was back out to get the kids, came home to meet my mom who had to get the kids’ suitcase for the weekend, she watched the kids while I got dinner ready, I made hubby wake up so she could go home, they ate dinner, then it was bathtime and their bedtime. Now here I am, staring down a pile full of laundry that needs to be folded and put away and frankly, idk where the energy is gonna come from.
Along with the pile of laundry there is a pile full of dishes in the sink. Not only am I running on fumes, I’m fuming with anger! I’m not gonna go into all the details, but let’s just say last week had a little altercation with family about how I run my household. Long story short, apparently I’m supposed to be June Cleaver. So a few weeks ago when I couldn’t use my right arm, and I needed help with housework and bathtime for the kids, etc…I didn’t really get that help that I needed. So here being right before surgery I’m trying to make sure I don’t feel overwhelmed afterwards with all that needs to be done that I can’t do. Overwhelmed is what I am, and that’s an understatement.
There is just so much going on right now I wanna pull my hair out. My daughter’s last day of school is tomorrow. On top of that I get paid Friday. Normally that’s a big yay…this time it’s a big…let me set up all of these things to post that day because I won’t be able to do it on my own. I absolutely love Verizon, Geico and my Credit Union who are all nice to deal with as a customer service experience, but even more so, they help me when I need it. I told the lady at the Credit Union who helps me that I’m gonna have to buy her an Edible Arrangement or something for how much she has done for me! I’m already bummed about this weekend and sales and groceries…like I already told my husband he’s gonna have to take me to the store! I don’t trust him to go and get the best deals, and he doesn’t use coupons very well! Add to all of this stress that just a short while ago I decided to re-read over my surgery pamphlet (you can never be overprepared)…I thought I had read it thoroughly before…apparently I was wrong…because today I just read that I wasn’t supposed to be taking any medications other than Tylenol. Well we don’t keep tylenol in our house…only when I’m preggo and for the kids. We use Excedrin and Advil, and I have used Advil for the past 3 days at work for headaches…I read today that I wasn’t supposed to be taking anything in the past two weeks!!! Like wth???? That’s just peachy! I’m sure I’ll be fine but dang, that’s a huge slip-up on my part. Womp Womp.
Anyway, I guess I should get to that laundry. Last time I checked, it doesn’t fold itself. This may or may not be my last post for awhile…we’ll see how it goes…
