January 12!

YAY!!!! I have a date! I have a date! I have a date!!!! January 12th! 7:30am, U of M Fairiew. If I'm a good girl, I can be out of there by 2-ish. I don't have the very detailed information yet, because the nurse who is sending me the info will be out of town next week, and she wants to be the one to do the info herself, which is so okay, I'm just happy to have a DATE!
I feel like surgery could be in February. Wouldn't that be a kick? That HAS to be worth SOMETHING....3 organs gone in 6 months?! HAHAHAHAH! It's incredible to me.
Because I want my kidneys, and hopefully KIDNEY to be in as good as shape as possible, I have stopped drinking coffee altogether (boo hooo) and I haven't had much soda either. Maybe 8 oz in 4 weeks? I'm on water and tea....boring, decaffeinated tea. :) and Green tea. I have had red meat 2 times in the past month. I'm trying to eat well. I'm getting enough fiber to kill everyone in this room if they aren't careful. I want happy kidneys that don't have to work extra hard to process what I put in. Can you even believe the shit they put up with? OMG! Take alcohol...first of all, it's a nightmare to our livers, like smoking is to our lungs. And our kidneys take it, too. All the processed nastiness, drinking, fatty nasty stuff we do to ourselves. I have so incredibly far to go, but I am learning, quickly, that I actually feel better when I eat better. But the problem is if I get too hungry, it's all over. Then I eat whatever is here, ice cream, candy or anything else. SOOOOO FAR TOOO GOOOOOOOO. So much to learn.
I'm starving, by the way. I didn't eat dinner because I didn't cook dinner. So now I will have to go try to make a good choice. Like a pb+j. That just screams HEALTH. I still haven't started working. And I haven't cleaned the carpet, which DESPERATELY needs it. I haven't done the recycling, or put the wash into the dryer. I didn't run the hose on the rink. I didn't let the kids watch all of Madagascar.
OMG...my cute babies. I made them start getting ready for bed at 7:30, and CJ and Josh totally took it upon themselves to move Jordan's bed out of his room and into Julia's room. I didn't do a thing. They did it. It was the coolest thing EVER to watch. They did it because they knew they'd get to come down here and stay up reading and doing learning time, and they are kind enough to not tell that to my two younger kids who fall right off to sleep at bedtime but would want to stay up if they knew....but CJ and Josh wanted them to have something fun too. I love my cute babies!!!!
January 12th! You can look forward (hahha) to a detailed post all about the fun I'll have. Blackburn- I'll have to redo a psychological test like we had to do for the surrogacy program. CAN'T WAIT. Those 600 questions are a GOOD TIME! And I'll have to do a 24 hour urine collection too. The kids will LOVE that. : )
YAY ME! YAY ME! YAY ME!
