Surgery--Again

What's going on with your mum?

Jes says:


and then Swimpy tells me:


Well - so much for that idea! I'm just a tad south of Georgia (either one!) here.

I haven't seen any yellow/sweet onions that may be substitutable at the markets either!

Still sitting and listening for Roberta!

This is my hand I'm holding out.

Joe(squeeze tight as you please today.)Nation

This is mine I'm extending back. We can both use a hand for squeezing. Thanks Joe.

(((((((((((((((hugs.....))))))))))))))))

More hugs

And yet more hugs.

Big hugs from me, too.

My thoughts and prayers Roberta.

Hopes and prayers, Roberta. Hopes and prayers...

yep, hugs from the upper midwest too.

Something most of you don't know about me is that I am a grand champion hugger. And so dittos re hugs.

So...it's gotta finally be Toosday over there, right?

Any noos?

It is, yep. 11:05 AM my time (and hers).

I've not seen recipes calling for sweet onions, msolga.. most use ordinary onions, and I've seen one or two for red onions, which I've used too. Sweet onions are used more for quicker cooking and as a raw addition to sandwiches, etc. I can see them in quicker soups.

I think the surgery is on Thursday, the 4th, but I might be confused.
Adding a Roberta hug though for the waiting...

Save dem hugs (not that they're not welcome) for September 8, the date of the surgery. Today was just a preadmission, schlepp around, answer a lot of questions, fill out forms, sign stuff day. It was also pay day. I paid.

Got there at 9:15. Home at about 3. Sat down to relax. Instantly had a major panic attack--wretched retching/dry heaves. Love dem dry heaves. Went to sleep at about 4. Got up at 6.

Still have to line up somebody to take me home. My regular take-home person has the unmitigated gall to go on vacation next week.

I want this over! Too much waiting. Too much uncertaintly. Too much to worry about. First time I ever had to worry that my mouth is too small.

Too tired to provide details. Looking forward to my corned beef manana. And a sour pickle.

Oy....enjoy your pickle, Pickle.

enjoy!

Next Monday - on the mental calendar (for all the good that'll do).

There's got to be SOMEONE in NYC to bring you home after surgery! Aren't their public services for that?
