Good Morning!!

[MundaCorMeum]

Come! Got some great coffee and some virtual muffins. They are whatever kind you like. Plus munda probably has breakfast leftovers. Oh! That's right! Poor munda, she's been sick.

I think there's some cold grits still in the pot.  Feel free to warm them up, if you like.  I'm not getting out of bed, though.  No coffee....just hot, herbal tea and Gatorade.  Plenty of fluids!  We have several of us sick today.  It's a pajama/movie/fend for yourself kind of day.

Oh munda! I know these days well. Yep, pj's, fluids. Gatorade is very good for this. Kids will have an up time, then down again near evening.Just try to keep kids from playing. Even if they are in bed! What exactly are grits? Cornmeal? Or rice? Or combination?

That "switchel" I made the other day is rich in electrolytes. The website called it "old-fashioned gatorade."

Coarse ground cornmeal.  Boiled with butter, salt, and pepper.  I usually add some chopped ham and cheese.  Today, I cracked a couple of raw eggs in them, after they were cooked, and whisked the eggs.....like egg drop grits

I've made homemade Gatorade before.  I liked it; the kids were unsure.  Maybe if I tried again and called it haymakers punch, and put a Little House spin on it, they would be more open to it.  But, just as a Gatorade substitute.....no go

That's right, they did drink it in The Long Winter!

Big day here! Going in. Pray I can find the office. REALLY. That's my biggest concern right now. Anyway, see you tonight.

I *think* just tests... I'll poke around and say what she said up above or in another thread...

Found it! On the thread in the prayer intentions for her blood clots...

I am all set up at u of m. All the tests I had done in Jackson will be redone at the university. I guess they only accept tests done in house. So on Tuesday I have a whole battery of tests being run, plus visit with vascular surgeon. Case will be decided as to how and where to go from here. Because of the rib removal it is going to require an ortho surgeon too.

No surgery today. Just bunches of imaging testing. No when I have surgery they will keep me in hospital for 7 days. Surgery is Monday the 27th. It will be a difficult long surgery, because of the aneurysm.

How are you feeling about the surgery/recovery/etc.?  Pretty confident?  Nervous?  (Probably both confident and nervous and everything in-between...)
