Checklist Check-In

I'm at 2.5 weeks to New Hip Day! Officially the halfway point of pre-op. I have today and tomorrow left on The Pill, and one more week with anti-inflammatories. Knowing this, I was trying to front-load my pre-op, so I can spend as much time in bed with a heating pad as possible once the pills wear off.

post-op be like...

So, how am I doing with the pre-op checklist?

✅ Parking Placard procured.

✅ Surgical Optimization completed; walker, pre-op wipes, and glucose drinks procured.

✅ Stuff Procured - massively huge thank you to my mom and my friend Tracy, they half-and-half tackled my list, and I am SO ready to go because of them. You're both wonderful 💖💖

They know why this is the most appropriate thank you meme.

true story.

✅ Hair products prep - I have a full quart of scalp oil, and 8oz of chebe butter ready to go!

✅ Pedicure... funny story. My left toes don't have any feeling anymore. It's not that

they "feel numb," they just... don't feel anything. I learned this when I sliced 4/5 nailbeds open on my left foot with my nail file yesterday. Now I have a request in to my PCP for a podiatrist referral, because I obviously can't be trusted to do my own toenails. But, they're short and rounded right now.

⬜ Meal Prep - I'm just now settling on a menu. Which is actually fortunate, considering like any good Michigander in winter, I was planning on keeping this in a tote in my garage and letting nature be my deep freeze. But we're in a warming trend for the next week, so putting that off definitely saved me trying to find freezer space...

⬜ Cannabis purchase, which will happen within a few days, as I am running very low right now.

⬜ Covid Vaxx, which I'll do when I head out for cannabis.

Me about leaving the house right now.

I... feel very on top of things right now. Who is this person with unmedicated ADHD??
