find out why people have wives, husbands, spouses, partners,
companions, roommates or whatever you call them--it is so much easier
tohave someone run around and do the million and one items you have to do before you go into the hospital!! :O)
I am trying to treat going into the hospital for open heart surgery as a vacation, a change in my regula life and routine, and there are so many details to attend to before I leave on my trip!
Today Gino and I brought my birds over to Jill. I promised her I wouldn't call or e-mail every 5 minutes between now and Sunday!
Tomorrow I am taking a break from all this--will go to see "Mamma Mia" and just relax with Allen, Gino and John then come home and write/postr my review.
On Saturday I have to:
Cancel newspaper subscription
Pay my August rent/ cable, phone and credit card biils
Make arrangements for the 15 frozen dinners I get delivered every month
Make arrangements for Allen and/or Gino to pick up Thursday food deliveries
Unsubscribe all my blog subscriptions so that my e-mail box isn't inundated and filled up in 2-3 days
E-mail everyone NOT to email me until I am back and ready to answer
Make sure all windows are open, blinds are up and a/c are turned on
Charge the batteries on my camera--if possible I want to have a picture taken of me when I am first out of surgery :O)
Explain lotto tickets to Allen
Prepare
clothes, sundries, etc., as I don't know what I will need/want in rehab
and tell Gino/Allen what to bring when I need whatever
Empty fridge
Since I will be in hospital all day Sunday bring a book or two and pack a small bag
Bring X-ray with me
Unplug answering machine/computer/TV
Give Dolores a key to my place, and money, so she can clean a couple of times while I am away
Show Allen/Gino where I keep my cigarettes--hey, no guarantee
I'll stop smoking after operation---a few dollars--my ring (I was told
not to bring anything valuable with me)--my checkbook, etc.
Write last blog.
WHEW!!!! And I am sure I am forgetting a few things.
Where is THAT spouse, husband, wife, companion, better half, roommate, partner, etc. when you need them?!?!?
