Week 14 and 5 weeks + 2 days

Nothing much going on. As you can see I am counting down. I'll start doing it by day soon!

I successfully prepped for my colonoscopy. Honestly, for those of you who may be putting it off, it's not that bad. I got a little tired of sweet so I drank broth and herbal tea towards the end. Took a nice little nap during the procedure which was good after being up several times during the night. Dr. B pronounced my colon healthy and let me know I didn't need to come back for 10 years. Yoohoo!

I discovered the other day if I put my right upper arm across my chest on top of my breast, I have a good shelf to rest my arm on, then I can put my chin in my hand. I think I could take a nap like that. It's firm enough that it just stays there - doesn't get squished. I had Mr. do a photo, but the effect didn't show. So... no pictures to post this week.

Tomorrow I start my new job. I'll still do 1-2 hrs a day on my old job to get things wrapped up. But I'll be in training for awhile. It will be strange to be learning new things instead of teaching new things. I'm looking forward to that.

Wednesday is my followup with my surgeon. We'll go over  priorities, goals, or whatever you want to call them. If  he's ready, we'll talk about procedures. I'll have my pre-op visit on 10/11, so we'll finalize things then.

There are times when it just feels better not to have a top on. It's getting a little chilly for that. Not sure what I'll do when winter sets in - turn the heat up. If the furnace is installed that might be an option! I'm sitting here tonight with a shawl around my neck and over the left side. I'm warm enough that way, and more comfortable. Sometimes I think it's wearing a bra that makes me uncomfortable, and others it seems like it's not wearing a bra and wearing a top that makes me uncomfortable. What to do?

Small family reunion today - aunt and uncle in from Maryland. Saw another OR aunt and uncle and two cousins hadn't see in awhile. That was nice.

Hoping to get a few more summer days before Fall sets in. We'll see...
