Tying up loose ends, so to speak

First, I would like to thank all my lovely blogmates for your well-wishes and concern over my upcoming surgery on Monday. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that you are watching out for my welfare. I know I have been VERY nervous about this surgery, but I feel that with so many people around the world sending good thoughts, everything will be fine.

We had a wonderful visit with son and DIL (who just left yesterday) and daughter, SIL, and the girls. We had a chance to spend some happy times with each other and the girls were so excited about their Uncle Eli and Aunt Aprilyn coming to visit. Even the cats got in on the act. We grilled out several times (in between bad storms) and everyone enjoyed themselves a great deal.

Barring a few complications with our vehicles, we think all the kinks have been worked out and everybody knows where they are supposed to be during the next couple of days. Daughter will stay with us at the hospital until Tuesday. So, please check Alipurr's blog after Tuesday for an update on my condition.

I will be spending today doing all the last minute things I meant to do several days ago. But, that proved to be impossible because we had a controlled chaos situation here with people sleeping in every nook and cranny all throughout the house. (I think I finally had a meltdown yesterday.)

So, thanks again for your kind thoughts and good wishes. (Susan, I loved the sunflower.) I couldn't talk husband into taking his laptop so I will be offline until I get home.

Love to you all, the soon-to-be semi-bionic woman
