Adding my good thoughts and prayers for your surgery tomorrow.

I'll be anxiously awaiting an update - when you can. Take care of yourself!
I will take care of myself. I'm rather enjoying having an excuse to sit around and Dis with little else to have to be tending to.
Good luck with your surgery tomorrow MeMom! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery
Thanks, Kristen!
Hope all goes well for you. I'm sure it will. I think about what it would be like to need medical treatment if we lived in Africa or some third world country. Or what is was like 100 years ago before modern medicine. What a blessing to have a bum knee in America in 2009!

I feel for you though on the food and water deal. My surgery was after lunch too and I thought I wouldn't make it without something to drink, but you will. I didn't get to eat any solid food for 3 days afterwards either!!! But all of that and the pain is already a distant memory and it was just 2 months ago. So just think about how fast time flies and this will all be over before you know it. And who knows, with the pain meds, you might actually sleep until AFTER the chickens get up!
Very true. There are people all over the world who have horrible pains that go on forever. I am very blessed to have good treatment.
I am already dying a slow death here, though, because I want to guzzle my water! I've just been taking a sip to wet my mouth and spitting it out. No water for me equals torture!
I might get some sleep if I am on drugs...that's true!
Thanks!
Hi!
I'm just coming out of lurkdom to wish you good luck tomorrow! I'll be sending happy thoughts of quick recovery your way!
I have thoroughly enjoyed your last few trip reports. Brooklyn and Bella are absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing your wonderful trips and joy with each other.

p.s. I love the shopping pictures too, although I am sure it will prove incredibly dangerous for my wallet come January.
Well, if I had to go through all of this to get you to come out of hiding and join us, I guess it's worth it.
We enjoy sharing the trips. It's fun to 'be there' again, and it's fun to hear other people tell stories of things that happened to them when they were in the same places, eating at the same restaurants, interacting with the characters, etc.
Shopping is a very dangerous hobby, no doubt!
Thinking of you, MeMom! Prayers and good thoughts for a quick recovery
Thanks, Meg!
MeMom, I didn't realize you are having surgery exactly two weeks after me! That's gotta be a good sign. I wish you a speedy recovery, good thoughts are being sent your way.
Oh and the thought of a Disney walking group is fabulous! I really need the exercise motivation and talking Disney would be great. Marc and Disney talk only gets me so far.
Oh how I wish we could! I love to walk. Well, I did when it wasn't torture. My walking friend and I have such different schedules that we just faded out of doing it regularly, but I want to get at it again as soon as possible. It really helps with the weight issue.
Good luck with your surgery tomorrow MeMom!
If you need a physical therapist, I'm just a short plane ride away!
Seriously, though, rest up afterwards and don't push yourself to get back to normal too quickly!
I've never been to where you live, so I may fly up to get some advice.
good wishes for you tomorrow!!
Thanks for the good wishes!

Thinking of you MeMom!! Lots of prayers and positive thoughts!!
I'll take them all!
Good Luck tomorrow MeMom!
I have a new phobia, tink....fear of no water! It's as bad as our claustrophobia, too!
Sending you lots of prayers tonight Memom! Glad to hear the paperwork is done and you can stop thinking school for a few days. It's kind of like a mini summer vacation!
Yep, school is not going to be on my mind this week. I worked fervently to set everything up, and I need to just forget it! The crazy thing is, yesterday was the last day of testing, so the first real day of teaching, I won't be there!
MeMom....will be thinking about you
I guess they couldn't make your surgery 09:09a for you tomorrow 
I'm sure the boys will be just fine helping you and if you need anything you know I'm RIGHT down the road!! If needed I would love to help anyway I can!!
Hugs!!
I should have begged for 9:09. That would mean I would be drinking water again by this afternoon. Instead, I don't get water until tonight. I hate this!
I'm going to need all of you to be drinking extra water today and appreciating that luxury!
I think we're good to go. I'm going to run to the store and be sure there are frozen meals and easy things ready for the next couple of days. My co-teacher at school gave me a gift certificate to Cracker Barrel, so I will save that for when Jill is here this weekend, because she loves Cracker Barrel. That was so kind of her to do that, and it will come in very handy. Food is always such a nice and practical gift!
