The time has come, the Walrus said….

Now that school is out for the summer, I have a new fulltime job to attend.  First, I have lightened my load for the coming school year.  I have removed myself from chair position from three committees I belong.  I have removed myself from one whole committee.  And I have decided that I didn’t need to remain in my office from 7:45 am until after 5 pm every day.  This will all help me get a balance back into my life, I hope.

But about my new fulltime job this summer!  I am excited!  And I am nervous.  On July 10, I am having total knee replacement surgery.  I will bein the hospital for four days and then home for recovery.  I will be weight-bearing on the knee the next day after surgery and working through physical therapy twice a day at the hospital.  My fella is taking off a week to tend to me when I get home, but my full-time job is to get mobile again so I can attend all those meetings, teach all those classes, and run and play with my grandgirl!

Yesterday I went to the pre-op stuff.  The nurse said I should be pretty independent by the second week home. I had asked a few freinds if they would like to come help take care of me the second week, but it looks like I won’t need anyone staying here.  I will need people to bring me things like lunch or whatever, run errands, but I won’t need anyone staying with me the second week.  If I do, I have friends on call 🙂

So that’s my life at this moment.  I’ll have my fella post something for me to let you know how it went.

peace~~
