I am in the home stretch.  Tim will be home Wed. sometime and I go in Thurs for surgery.  Like Renee I am giving up personal parts and will be in over night.  Tim is staying for a couple of days and then Sami is coming over for a couple of days.  Casey is going to be working as much as he can and staying out of range of his dad.  He is cook and chief bottle washer after Tim leaves.  Sami was thinking that while she was here she would go thru the stuff in her old room and get rid of a bunch of it.  I am hoping to do the same with the house while I am off.  I am off for 6 weeks at the center and hopefully only a week and a half at the laundry.  I can go back to the laundry on light duty which means I can pick up no more than 10 lbs, where as at the center I need to be able to pick up a person. Luckily I have personal time/pto to cover the 6 weeks I will be off.  I am working for the next five nights at the center and until Wed at the laundry.  I will post as I can.  We are losing the hard drive in the lap top and Casey got us another on but it isn't compatable so we now have to get a different one.  See ya soon, Renee

He is hoping to do the removal vaginally so I think that it is Laproscopic but I have a hernia in the rectal wall and he isn't sure if he is going to do anything about that while he is there or not.  We wait to see.  I haven't even got the call yet on the time but I do need to go in Tues or Wed and do the lab work. 

Tim is going to be running over Thanksgiving so I am not sure what we are going to do.  KC and I are going to do that unconventional thing and do pizza for one meal and G'mas' pancakes for the other.  Being as I usually make our own pizzas I have most of the stuff on hand but I think we are going to do a shrimp and mushroom one cuz we don't do that one very often.

I hope you surgery is a success. And you have a quick recovery. Pizza sounds so good, I think pizza should be a food group ;-) I could literally eat it every day! Thanks for letting us know about your surgery ((((((((())))))))))))) hugs
