Monday was a getting settled day and final steps to prepare for my knee replacement. I enjoyed sleeping in my own bed on Sunday evening. While the Amish View Inn has wonderful facilities, it is always nice to get home to your own sleeping accommodations. My 'amusement park bed' does have qualities that are generally not found in a hotel, and I did not really miss the vibrate feature of my bed until I no longer had it.
I have also realized that I can head into bed at just about anytime. I generally headed to bed around 11:00 PM as I wanted to let Molly go out as late in the evening as I could with the hope for a good sleep throughout the night. (Molly always had trouble making it all night. It was like having a baby for 15 years!) But now, with Molly no longer around, I can actually close, lock the back door and throw on the alarm once the kitchen is cleaned up after dinner. So, Sunday night, I curled in bed early and watched TV, drifting off to sleep during one of the Netflix programs.
I had a phone interview from the Anesthesia group. I answered all of the questions that they had and was informed about the need to wash my body with a special soap the evening before and the morning of my surgery. The lady on the phone indicated that there should have been a paper in my packet, but I could not find one. I am happy that she mentioned it.
I also had a physical with my family doctor to clear me for the surgery. I had a chance to ask about the suspect EKG. I am glad I did not totally freak out about it, as my doctor indicated that it was once again, something that was not unexpected in someone of my age, weight and physical fitness (not). So I know I am going into this with risks, but I run those same risks just getting up in the morning.
The rest of the day was spent waiting for Hershey Motors to call. I am going to be embroidering jackets for them. They are providing the jackets and the young man who had them was going to being them to the store, but I was not able to get them until today. I still do not have the artwork for digitizing. It is the last, but most important part of the puzzle. I will hopefully have it later today. They want them done before I head for my surgery.
In the mail, yesterday, I got two sets of remote controlled outlets for lights. I installed three of them in my bedroom and two in the living room, with one to spare. It will give me control over the lights in both rooms without having to get up. Just something to make recovery from the surgery. Still have some cleaning to do. But I could manage, should the surgery happen tomorrow.
Still no idea if I am cooking or visiting for Thanksgiving. Yikes!!!
