You've done a lot of stuff! What are you having surgery for? I definitely want to stop by!

I'm having a hysterectomy because of a uterine fibroid (see a few blog entries earlier, which describes the whole blood transfusion issue that led to discovery of said fibroid). My doctor said I should be home either Saturday or Sunday, depending on what time the surgery is scheduled and how quickly I recover from the anesthesia and such, so later the following week I should be feeling much better. I can't wait to see you! Travel safely!

Shiela! I hope your surgery goes well. Let me know if you need ANYTHING! Your list is pretty crazy, you've been a busy girl. I'm copying it to my blog for fun.

literaqueen said...

Thanks, Alicia. I need to add "see Alicia's new kitchen" to my to-do list next week before the surgery.

The Conductor said...

So impressed you've never bounced a check, Sheila! And, I have to hear more about your ambulance ride. Wow -- you've done a lot of cool things! I'm wondering if I'm too chicken to copy and paste this...

literaqueen said...

Shoot! Now that I think about it, I HAVE bounced a check-- well, not really, because I had overdraft protection, but I guess technically I did.

Fletch said...

Are you home yet? Did all go well???

By the way, if I did this list, I think I would have to highlight, like, three things. I need to get out more.

Take it easy, girlfriend!

literaqueen said...

Yes, Jen, I'm home!! I need to blog an entry about the surgery one of these days-- but not today, because sitting at the computer is tiring!
