About Bouncing off the Walls Right Now!

I am sooo excited!
Today I started my 10 day liquid diet. I met with my surgeon and got the last details and instructions needed before surgery. Got my EKG, Chest X-ray and blood draw done! I can't believe how close surgery is!!
I'm not nervous anymore but I'm sure I'll get nervous again just before surgery. Sometime next weekend DH, DD and I are going to take off for the day and maybe go to Yosemite. I love it there and it calms me.
I'll have a 6 week lifting restriction of 10lbs and I'm a little concerned about that with DD. She's 2 and I'm not sure how much she's going to understand. I've started talking about surgery and how we're going to have to be careful with my tummy. She'll gently rub it and say "ow" and then lean over and kiss it! So cute!
I finished my class Thursday night. I've lost 19.8lbs with the class. The goal was 10% or 23lbs. Almost got there. I'll for sure have that plus by surgery day.
DH got the day off. He's a fireman so we weren't sure if he could. He put the request in as a family leave day and they happily gave it to him. Well, they had to for family leave but they didn't blow a huge stink about it. He'll have to go back on Tuesday but my mom will be here so I'll have help. They did ask him if he needed more time but with my mom here, it's fine for him to go back to work. He'll then be home Thursday of that week for 10 days off (vacation time) so between DH and my mom, I'm golden for 2 weeks! Now I just have to hope I'm back on my feet and fully (mostly?) functional by then!
TTFN!!
