In less than two days Alex goes into the hospital for the procedure to clear his renal artery. It is a routine procedure, insofar as anything where they anesthetize you and send instruments into your body can be routine, but I feel as though it will be life-changing. I feel as though we need to have the decks cleared and that just isn't happening.
He needs to check in by 7:30 that morning -- we will leave the house before 7:00 -- and expects that it will be about eight hours before he is discharged. No overnights these days. When they did the angiogram on his main arteries five years ago the procedure took little time, but he had to rest for several hours after. I'm guessing that he won't be very hungry, so a light dinner is planned. I'm ready for that.
While he is in surgery or sleeping I have Thank You notes to write and envelopes to address for our Annual Report. I have everything ready for that.
It's the "just in case". The Christmas tree is still up, and the boxes of decorations, while packed, are piled in the living room. I am so goofy. I want a clean slate in my house to go with his clean arteries. Then, just in case something goes wrong I need everything to be perfect at home. I have no idea why, but I do. Not gonna happen!
On a more positive note: I cleaned out my bathroom drawer (what was I doing with all of those cosmetics? I certainly don't use them) and filled a trash bag. I also filled a bag for the Disabled Vets that includes a couple of dresses I like very much, but no longer wear. My eating habits have been better and I walked yesterday and worked out hard at Curves today. Progress toward my goals. If I have to keep reporting I will be too embarrassed to slack off.
Now I need to stop blogging and get back to cleaning. Not that anyone will see the house or care.
