OK, he wants to see me again in person before he signs, since it's been a few months. So, I'll see him a week from today. Thank goodness he doesn't need new lab tests in order to do this. My last set of lab tests was pretty stellar.
Meanwhile, I have been engaged in some consumer therapy, buying a new
recliner/lift chair. I decided that I wanted it whether I need it for surgical recovery or not. I am going to donate my sofa and loveseat to the Salvation Army, to make lots of room for it. Also I ordered hand rails for the toilet to assist me in rising from it after the surgery like Yakgrl suggested
here, a sock assist device like Moemg suggested
here in Chuckanut's thread, and so on. And finally I ordered that nice "Lounge Doctor" pillow that chuckanut mentioned
here, to use in elevating my knee after surgery. I might not need quite so much stuff but it will be comforting to have anything that might make my recovery period even a little easier.
Some other women here may understand why one might redecorate due to upcoming surgery. I'm pretty sure the guys won't get it!
It's stress relief and will distract me from the inevitable worries that can arise when confronting surgery. Besides, my den has had too much furniture in it ever since I moved here. I just stuffed everything from the den at the old house, into the den here, and it's too much stuff. I never use that sofa and loveseat anyway, and with those gone, and only a recliner added, this will give me lots more open space in my den and fewer things to bump into.
