I am making headway in my preparation for surgery. I have been cleaning and sorting and throwing out and rearranging the stuff in the house. I needed to do an un-clutter, at least of the floor, so I can get around with a walker or a cane without tripping over stuff.
It was a daunting task. I had (and still have) 20 years of things that I brought up from the Maryland house. For quite a while, it was everywhere. I am down to the last few boxes in the back of the truck and in the garage. I will go through them one at a time from now on until they are all done.
But since scheduling the surgery, I have been working very hard to get rid of the clutter. I am not completely done. I still have things in piles, but they are smaller and you can see large areas of floor and the doors open so you can go outside both front and back. I am working now to be company clean.
Brian will be arriving on the 21st, and chances are I may not be getting home too much before that. So I am trying to get things as ready as I can for the holidays. That way, when I come limping home, I will not have to do anything more than welcome Brian home.
So, while the elephant is not as big, I am still doing a bite at a time. I would recommend the one bite at a time routine. You do not have the overwhelming feeling of drowning. And the progress, even though slow, makes one feel like a success!
