Stuff is getting real now that my hysterectomy surgery is just 2.5 days away. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am and prior to that I have to take a shower with that special cleanser. Actually, I have to start that today- I am to use 1/3 of the bottle today, 1/3 tomorrow, and then the final 1/3 the morning before surgery.
I am a smidge disappointed in my weigh in but at least there is a smidge of a loss. I have been lower the last few days so that is why there is disappointment. I also know that bodies are dumb, and that next week's number will probably be higher. Because of retained fluids and all that jazz that comes after surgery. Attached is my quote for this surgery.
I signed up for a weigh loss thing that is free through my health insurance and so far I have not even heard from the company. I guess a did in a way, but it was a tracking notice for a scale. Part of the program is that they send me a scale and if I follow through with the plan and use the company they will send me a Fitbit as well. Below is a picture of the scale that the shipping notice was for. I just checked- looks like the scale will get here on Monday.
I have a Renpho scale that is perfectly fine but I am curious to compare weigh ins and see if they match.
Part of my wants to get stuff done and ready for Monday but the other part of me just wants to check out and hide my head in the sand. Technically, I have all day tomorrow to work on my to-do list as well. Well hell- I might as well go put my blanket in the wash now while I am blogging.
Ok, blanket in the wash, breakfast cooked and eaten, and bills for the month of July paid. I had to wait till all the billing cycles switched over so I could pay the bills due at the end of the month. I have continued with the plan of using that credit card for groceries and sitting on the cash for Augusts bills.
I actually got some happy news on Wednesday as I received an email about my refund processing. I was super confused as I was not expecting anything because I had already received my financial aid refund in May. I looked into it and apparently I got a bachelor scholarship for $750. Unexpected blessing that will help pay the bills for the month of August as well. I feel like I can breath a little more deeply when it comes to paying things now.
I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers this week as you go through surgery and then the healing! As for the to do list.....get what you can done and don't worry about the rest, it will be there waiting for you when you are back on your feet! And the weight, don't you even dare look at the scales for a few weeks!
