But before that can happen, there are antiobiotics to swallow, specialists to call, kidneys to plump, and one very stubborn spinster who is determinied to postpone said surgery until the apocalypse.
(Which I assume is any day now considering all of the other crap happening in my life at the moment.)
Never fear...I took the news with my usual good cheer, paid my $10 copay, got the hell out of there and went for a Berry Boost smoothie at the Smoothie King right outside my apartment.
I don't know what's in it exactly, but I feel healthier already.
Seriously, kids. I will survive this. I have to. There are blog posts to post, Needlepoint Now columns to write, and enough stitching projects in my little cube room studio to keep me busy and out of trouble well into my dotage.
Besides...I promised myself that getting all of the bad stuff out of the way now means that I will be a very happy little old lady.
With a motorcycle.
And a very young boyfriend.
Named Brad.
Here's a little progress on Bobbin Garden:
As soon as I finish my smoothie, the paper, and the puzzles I think I'll get back to it. It is a simple stitch, but very fun and turning out quite lovely, I must say.
Here's hoping your very own Futzingday is surgery and worry free. Do something fun and come tell me all about it!
Jeesh! I am sorry about the surgery. Your attitude does sound upbeat, though. We are all pulling for you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you got this news, but on the flip side, so pleased that there is something that can be done (albeit must be done) to get rid of the problem. Modern medicine, the cures and the curses.
ReplyDeleteSo before surgery (stay with me on this, ok?) you might want to stock up on nice, new conservative undies. I would hand deliver them to you, but I am pretty far away for that. I willingly did that for my dear friend/unofficial unadopted daughter, and we all need one of those, when she had emergency surgery, and only had cute little bikini/thong thingies, because even in her early 40's, she can totally rock those - hate her for a drop dead face and figure for 5 seconds and get over it - and she couldn't be caught in those. Those and real pj's were on the shopping list on the way down to the hospital when I got her phone call. Her wonderful hunk of Mr. Husband, who we will call Brad, was not quite the right person to take care of that task, but can rewire anything perfectly and quickly. Yup, do not be caught with thongs and sheer little nighties....or denim mini-skirts.
So this morning I met a very nice police officer. I knew he was behind me, so I was really careful about that residential area speed limit. But I got pulled over...why? Expired registration, but no, it was not. The blasted sticker that goes on the license plate was not on, husband had put it on in last month when we renewed everything. Nice officer, very polite, all taken care of except for a sticker for the license plate, as we have to figure out how to get a replacement from our DMV. I did have the presence of mind to thank the very nice officer for his service before we parted company. Does that count as fun?
It will be back to the Game of Thrones from Season 1 Episode One binge watch soon. 8 yesterday, lots more to go.
Prayers continue.......
LOL - Ginger you are a treasure! Are conservative undies
ReplyDeletestill available?
Coni dear, Now that the report is in, let us all gear up
for the big day and fortify you with whatever it takes to
bring you into your beautiful dotage. That Berry Boost sounds great. If they pep you up, make them a habit.. I have to find a local Smoothie King and try one. Just love the bobbin garden... your work is always so lovely. Enjoy
the hibernation day and Reeeelax... We love you and wrap you in prayer....
Conservative undies- are there any other kind?
DeleteYou are unbelievable - in a strong powerful wonderful way! I do not think I could be that positive right now but I am so glad that you are!! Big hugs to you, you are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Now I want a smoothie too!
ReplyDeleteJust saw this on another blog and thought you might get a grin out of it
DeleteMy body is a temple, but it's one of those where they allow monkeys to sh*t all over the place.
Well, I busted out laughing on that one!
DeleteWell I like that! Connie conservative undies are a must and if you go to hanes.com right now they have seconds for way less than anywhere else. Plus delivered right to your door!
DeleteBobbin Garden looks great and because of you, it was ordered yesterday afternoon. Coni, you are in my thoughts and prayers about the additional possible surgery. Enjoy your smoothie and put in some stitches while you hibernate.
ReplyDeleteYou are owed some good luck and smooth sailing for sure!
ReplyDeleteMy Bobbin Garden pattern arrived in the morning mail. Tonight is gathering supplies time. Like the idea about sensible underwear and sleepwear....just because new "personals" always make me feel good. Please don't wait for the apocalypse - Irish football is right around the corner and you want to be ready for that! Keeping you in my positive thoughts.

We are all with you through any and all that life throws at you. Hoping that soon those throws will be bouquets!
ReplyDeleteBrad? Does that mean that Jeffrey is up for grabs?
ReplyDeleteLoving your stitching. Praying for you that all will be well.
ReplyDeleteConi, God helps those who help themselves..,and your healthy attitude is a wonderful thing to see...read. You're smart, you're resourceful, and now I know you are determined. We will continue to pray for you because we just love you!
ReplyDeleteDoes your young boyfriend have a brother?
ReplyDeleteGood wishes for your surgery. You are on my mind, all good thoughts!
Brad, love him already! He's on his way.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love and supports your way. Gorgeous cross stitch. My fun thing yesterday was watching the deer from the back porch (house is on the side of a hill, so we get a great view). There were five "teenagers" plus mum and twins. The twins had spots, so was thrilled to see them.
ReplyDeleteBrad?? Who pray tell is Brad?
ReplyDeleteConi, I so want this to all be behind you soon. You do have so much set for the "after" future! And yes, who is Brad??? Do tell! I have a stitchy night with friends at my "not so" LNS. I always love that. May your needles fly, your eyes and body nap well and tomorrow be bright and sunny ready for what comes next that you will sail through with flying colors!
ReplyDeleteThat cross you're toting around is sure getting big- know that you've got an army of moral and spiritual support out here helping you carry it, my dear. ox-p.
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts coming your way. Hang in there! We are all rooting for you.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
