I can relate. I have been in your shoes. Ask the nurse that checks you in to call you husband. Generally they will annotate that in your chart and sometimes the doctor will make thllc all instead. All of your buddies on the quilt board will be with you so you will not be alone. Us Texans always stick together...you may be close enough that I can come and sit with you...I have been through a very similar surgery as well and this time next year you will be a new woman!

Here is my great pkg from Knitette (Eileen)who lives in Scotland! She sent a great letter full of info about her town and herself. Some brochures and a postcard about Aberdeen. A great little Scottish cookbook, can't wait to try it!Some scrapbook embellishments, pretty purple flower fabric, Royal Plaid kleenex, tartan ribbon, a coaster and last but not least some mini "Lucky Tatties" candy (Scottish slang for potatoes.)Remember I said great things come in small pkgs. So great that she got my name as my DH and I have always wanted to visit Scotland always been a dream of mine! Thank you again Eileen I loved it all!

segasal, that was a thoughtful offer your SP had. My friend trained golden guide dogs. Wonderful loving animals. And to the post "too much lobster and seafood".. argh, let me help you out with that! Last time I had too much lobster was...never. Ok cant eat two lbs of it at one sitting but could come up with fifty ways to eat it this week. You bring the sea food and I will make the steak for you.. anyone else want to come? who bakes? we need dessert with this absolutely.. oh and a salad, who is bringing that? btw didnt know you could get gout from lobster.. is it from the lobster? yikes. Inlaws from Wells ME. Lovely lovely state you have there.

I received a package in the mail yesterday. To me, apparently from me too.. I looked at it in shock. A) what the heck! a package FOR ME?? and B) from me in mystery handwriting. There inside much to my pleasure is a beautiful quilt calendar with terrific huge pull out pages of instructions on how to make each of the quilts. It was like a great magazine! then a cookbook of holiday recipes which I am refraining from reading til dialysis Thursday. Its in the bag and will be read top to bottom and back again. Bet you it gets passed around too so thank you Me 
There was a nice note saying this was to stave me off until my package arrived and it was signed.. K. Darned it .. who here has a name that starts with K??? hum.. any ideas? I was pleased with what I received. That said.. hey I just saw another package that was misdirected .. give that back. Dove bars? did I see fabric and dove bars?? surely you opened the wrong one!

BUT, then I read the rest of your post and I couldn't bring myself to say that because she was likely the sweetie that sent you the package. I cannot imagine dialysis and hope the magazine helps pass the time. And K - forgive what I was thinking of saying. lol.

Great picture of the driveway, I know how you feel! No package for me today either. I hope it gets here before I leave for vacation on Sunday.
Lovely packages coming in though, I love this swap.
Whew we hit some heat today in the Pacific northwest. Thank god we never have it for long. I'd never be able to leave the house.
Good luck Lori! I don't do a lot of salt either. You don't miss it after awhile, if you use other seasonings. I love garlic, so that replaces my salt intake. Now when I taste something with salt in it, I'm really aware of how much people do salt their food.
