Hi Ladies!
Cathy- my surgery is May 17th. I got about 7 or 8 inches cut off of my hair. I didn't warn DH I just surprised him. The cut is really versatile (sp?) though. If I am feeling sassy I can put some texturing cream in it and kind of spike it out all over. It makes it look really windblown. (dd 10yo said when I do that you can see down to my scalp it's so short) Or I can brush the top back and it looks like I've curled it (for the more mature mommy look) or I can just brush it all straight down if I'm feeling a little tomboyish that day. I love it. It only took me a couple of min. in the shower to wash and condition and rinse and it took all of 2 min. to style it with the texturing cream today and it was completely dry in about 10 min without blowdrying. I hope you have fun at the shower. I know the drive has to be awful though. I hate driving that far. I suffer road rage too easily.
Leenie- the concert sounds like alot of fun. I hope you enjoy it girly! You'll have to tell us all about it.
Sandy- I'm glad everything is good. It sure is a good thing they found the sleep apnea. A friend of mine has it and after tey got him on the breathing machine at night he said he hadn't felt that rested or energized in years. He was sleeping way better within a day or 2 and becuase of the energy boost from actually sleeping without breathing trouble he lost 30 lbs. GL with the internist. Let us know how that goes.
Well I had my first physical therapy appt. today. Oh my goodness did it hurt!! They made me move my leg in ways that I could barely move it before it was injured! And they did electroshock muscle stimulation on my leg. That was interesting. It felt like being stabbed by a bunch of pins and needles at first then the heat kicked in and it actually felt good. Almost like a deep muscle massage! I have to do therapy 2 times a day every day until surgery, but the therapist was really nice. He said that because I have kids and DH has to leave work to watch them while I do PT and because I have to drive and hour and a half to get to the office he's going to let me do my program at home and at my gym (where they have daycare) because he doesn't want my life disrupted anymore than it has to be. he told me he normally wouldn't even think about doing it that way but I showed him such drive and determination (even through the pain) that he knows I will do what needs to be done. i have to see him again on Monday just so he can make sure that the prgram is working the way it needs to and then unless I need him before surgery I can do it on my own. He will see me after surgery to work with me on some new exercises and then he'll let me do those on my own too as long as there are no problems.
I have nothing but chores and PT going on this weekend. Grocery laundry cleaning the usual. Dh is working all weekend to try and make up for some of the time he's missed this week. He had to take time off 3 days this week just for my doctors appts and PT so he has alot of work to catch up on. So it's just me and the kids doing our thing.
Well I'm off to bed. It's much too late to be awake (12:30am). so I'll talk to ya'll this weekend. Take care everyone.
