All confirmed for tomorrow
Posted , 23 users are following.
I've just phoned the ward and have to go in at 9am instead of 7am. Better for my son who will be taking me. They will do the admission procedure in a side room until my bed is ready then that's the bed I'll be going to theatre in. I'm very relieved it's not going to be postponed or cancelled. See you all on the other side

We are through the worst and Mom was not responding for a while so I had been saying goodbye to her for a while. And friends have really rallied around to help. The worst is working from a tablet vs my desktop computer - harder to cut and paste much of the info needed.
My Dad managed well overall and held my Mom's hand much of the last two days but was looking for her everywhere today (sigh, poor guy)

Stock up with food, put as much as you can higher up (not too high!) so you can reach it easily.
Get emergency supplies like long life milk, part baked bread, tinned food. Cerials keep a long time, and with milk are nutritious.
Get all the aids you can, and practise with them BEFORE the operation.
I used a travel mug with a lid for the first weeks, I found I could get it in my jeans pocket to transport it.
Over-the-shoulder bag (i used an old camera bag), to transport stuff.
Grabbers.
Get stick clips (see my site) for sticks and grabbers.
long shoehorn
slip on shoes
mobile phone, and list of friends who can help you if you get stuck, and taxi company numbers in case you need them.
Check out your favourite supermarket delivery options.
pet bowls on sticks
washing sponge on a stick
non slip bath/shower mat
wet wipes
something to occupy you (helps forget the pains), jigsaws, colouring books, music, sewing, knitting, whatever you like.
Get a pedicure

Most of that is sorted - must get taxi numbers!
And move DVD players from bottom shelf
I see a feast of Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Harry Potter, Horrible Histories and Yonderland coming up. OH, and a subscription to Netflix!
I'm almost looking forward to this, almost. Actually, I am
