Well it's 4 AM and I am not to bed yet. I'll go soon and then get up in time to pick Ashley up from school and go to the drs for my pre-op exam. Then I have some paperwork to finish up and have to plan my strategy for the next few days. I'll be heading to the hospital first thing on Wednesday morning and am hoping they keep me at least two nights so that I'll be able to get good pain control while I'm there.

The surgeon said after I heal I'll have more energy then I've had in years, I can't wait! I am really excited. If that energy comes I am going do some weight lifting and exercises at the gym to get strong. My knees have gotten so painful and weak that I have trouble rising, so I definitely need to strengthen the muscles surrounding them. I already have a gym membership, I'll have to get the old card out and dust it off. I also want to be able to walk the dogs so they can get out more too.

I also need to get some groceries from the store so these guys don't starve while I'm gone. I don't do the cooking but Kristen won't go shopping without me and Bob will go but he always gets more than I ask for lol. Anyway, I promise I'll check back in this evening. Take care and have a great day, love you all...jilly
