Well, at least fast enough to make dinner at Kaitlin’s on Thursday. She and Janet were going over the menu today and I can’t wait. That and with her living all around the country the last 10 years ... i can’t remember the last Thanksgiving we spent together.
Yikes @MikeE3! I just commented to my DH that compared to colonoscopy prep, his prep is a breeze (he has to drink 24oz of Gatorade in an hour, 2 hours before his surgery as part of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol). I hope they get things running smoothly for you soon. Yeah for the nurse that is cool with vaping!
@3mg Meniere Glad to hear you're recovering well. Yes, the dirty floor can wait! How's your sister?
@FranC Hoping for good news for your hubby.
Asking for positive thoughts for my DH. His triple bypass is tomorrow at 9:30am. Despite trying to do much in advance, I didn't get to washing the floors either LOL. The snow last Friday and today had me out shoveling instead, messing up my schedule.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Eat well and enjoy for me. I get hospital cafeteria food. LOL. As long as the surgery goes well, that's fine by me.

Cute baby, cute granma!Good day everyone!!
( can't seem to make it here in the morn!)
Here's a pic of my youngest g-granddaughter. This lil one and her lil sister just melt my ole heart!
This is Lulu..the older one...
I taught her to " go for it"...lol...
I think I've posted that my hubs works at Lowes in the appliance dept. Here is his advice. Now is a great time to buy appliances…lots of sales. He also said
1. don't buy Samsung- Their washers/dryers used to be good but about 1-2 years ago something changed and it has a lot of recalls. His store gets the most complaints about Samsung washers and dryers from their customers than any other brand.
2. LG is ok but also made in Asia, can make it difficult for warranty work and getting the parts from the factory may take 6-24 weeks because of the new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration
3. GE and Maytag/Whorlpool are made either in the US or Mexico and he has not seen any problems with parts or repair work. They have very few complaints on them.

Oh, hope you are A-1 for Turkey Day!
Savvy nurse with the vaping advice! You've got all the positive thoughts and prayers coming for your dh and yourself!
She says the physical therapist says she has improve ed a lot the past week, but she can't see any improvement. We contemplated the pros and cons of double mastectomy and double knee replacement, versus single of each.

Prayers and positive thoughts for your hubs.
Hubby has a list of ailments that would have killed most people years ago.It started with a triple bypass (They said he wouldn't have lived another month) Next came chronic acute pancreatitis that his dr at the time fail to diagnosis (ER dr said he was within 2 days max of dying). Then came spinal stenosis,emphysema,a rare and incurable bile duct cancer and now a cracked pelvis is giving him a whole a lot of pain.
Sounds like a typical sister conversation, I've had a few comparing notes with mine too. I'm glad your sister's PT can see the improvement. It's tough as the patient as you want more (going thru rehab with my ankle now so I can empathize).
Kudos to you and hubby. It takes a lot of strength to deal with all of those challenges. How the heck did he crack his pelvis? Sheesh. Hope it heals well and the pain diminishes soon.
Geez, I’m such s wimp ... lose 4 units of blood, they sew me up again, and stick me in ICU overnight
Hubs was a fighter in his younger days and it's apparently an old injury that made an unwanted appearance when hubs went down on his .... on concrete. Did I mention he gets dizzy spells..............
Yah, really, what's a few units of blood here or there? Maybe they like that .... of yours?
Relieved to know you're ok and they're watching over you.
Good day everyone!!

Awwww, nothing like holding a baby! Is that birthday cake she's devouring? I made a chocolate cake for our son's 1st birthday figuring he's make a total cute mess. Nope, he didn't want to get dirty and didn't appreciate the wonderful world of chocolate. And then His son, Miles, did the same thing! We should send Miles over to play with your g-granddaughter so she can show him how it's done!!
Good grief! He is one tough man!!
@WhiteHighlights, Gracie, Oldbroad, 3mg, Bea, oh hell, everyone!! I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. We've all got stuff to deal with and I just pray for strength and comfort for us all.
I'm back from the hospital. Mike is resting comfortably in a private room in the ICU. (Good thing he's by himself because he'll be tooting all night from all the gas they pumped into him!) He's in good spirits except they won't give him anything to eat till morning. At least I hope they let him eat in the morning! I think they just want to make sure the bleeding is under control. The good news is we don't have to wait for the lab report on the polyp - it's benign. He'll be awake early tomorrow I'm sure and as long as he has a good night I'm sure they'll be letting him come home. Then we'll just have to give him some pampering for a few days before bringing out the honey-do list again!!
