I just splurged
 

and got us a hospital tray table for after surgery so we can sit in the recliner and have the laptop with us...

how decadent.

I also got a great cookbook for post WLS (that makes two now)
and a book on the psychological aspects of WLS...which when I looked closer I realized was WRITTEN BY THE LCSW of the practice we are with...

It's getting closer...:carrot:

brian's is a week from tuesday I can't even wrap my head around that!

Get Ready to Shrink!! :D are you bringing the recliner to fl?

LOL no! but i'll lay in the passenger seat reclined a bit and BFF said we would drive at night...

we've done the florida drive together before and two summers ago we drove to Denton Tx together...
