Lynn, wow, thank you. What a terrific idea. Sounds better than cooking a few hours every day. They're there, ready to go. Nice.

Good morning to all who are gathered here!!
I just realized...that's Dan there, surrounded by us chicks!!!





Good morning..for today and tomorrow...just a really nice family b'day for our Grandson yesterday!!! But sheesh I'm tired this morning! Tomorrow I'm at the hospital for 7am for pre-surgery tests and a meet and greet with an anesthesiologist. That should take, the gal said, about 4-5 hours!!!!? Good grief..... So I doubt I'll be on here in the wee hours of the morning...
Have a lovely day, everyone!!!

Good luck! Just show that anaesthesiologist how fast you can go to sleep at that hour of the morning! DH has his regular CT scan tomorrow. I'm going to stay home with the doggies and hope the humidity goes away!

I'll be thinking about you!

Lynn, good luck tomorrow; hope all goes well!

22hicks...my hubby makes up frozen "patties" from human foods..it's so convenient, we just take one out of the freezer and put it into a tupperware container and replenish as we need it. She gets about 1/3 of one per day along with whatever meat we're having each evening. It's lean ground beef, a can *2? of mixed peas and carrots, 3 doggie multivitamins, dash of garlic, and 1/2 the rice to ground beef mixture. He weighs each portion out, puts them into muffin tins and into the freezer they go, then he takes them all out and puts them into freezer bags! Sometimes we'll drizzle a little vegetable or canola oil onto it if we see her skin drying out (not olive oil!) and she loves that. He fries up the beef, prepares the rice (either brown or white), then pulses up the vitamins with the peas and carrots, mixes it all up and done! I think he makes up about 18 large 'muffins' at a time, so they last a long time for Jenny. Hope that helps a little...

And yes....although I'm looking forward to having no hardware in my leg anymore, I sure wish I could get there without the surgery!! My last anesthesiologist didn't want to put my full "out" because of my high (but controlled!) BP, so I may go the "twilight" route; my surgeon said I wouldn't know or care what the heck she was doing to my leg in that condition. Hmph. Problem with that is....like my Mom and our DD, we take a looooong time to freeze, so I have no idea what to think or do!!Just a little scared, actually.....

When I had my knee scoped, the Dr. gave me the La-La juice! It was interesting but surreal - but I really didn't care that THAT was really MY knee he was zooming into. I'll be that little "sprite" on your shoulder making sure they treat you right.

Thank you, my Friend, I know you'll be thinking of me.....gosh, if I'm this nervous about my pre-op, what the heck am I going to be like in 10 days?! I should ask for a wee sumthin' -sumthin' to relax me that morning; I doubt two double scotch 'neat' would be acceptable....
Um....do people say stupid things when you're in la-la land? Oh, I'd hate that.....!!

Oh. I forgot, Avon. GO BLACKAWKS! Apologize to your hubby and give him a big hug from me...

[avoncallingu]

If you say something silly - don't worry, you'll never remember!
