Almost there

Well, it's 3 days until my surgery and I'm sufficiently anxious. I have done research on my surgery, anesthesia, recovery and drugs and I can honestly say I am mildly nervous about most of these things. I guess I'm not as much nervous about the surgery going wrong, or getting an infection, I'm worried about the pain I'm sure I'll be in directly after surgery. Since I am still being treated for my gastritis, I'm really afraid I won't be able to tolerate the pain medicine. Choosing between the pain of my knee and the pain of my stomach being burned is not a decision I'd like to make.
But alas, I can only worry so much before I have a heart attack, so I've busied myself with all the crap I need to get done before surgery. Seeing as this time I can plan my leave and wrap up all my projects, I better make the most of it. This weekend was officially named Kelly's mobility appreciation weekend. I wanted to do anything and everything I won't be able to do in 3 days.  This basically includes walking, standing, awkwardly dancing, and showering. I only have half a good knee anyway, so this list would have been longer before all this crap happened. Just more to look forward to in a few months, right?
I finally got my snazzy new ice machine. It cost me more than I care to share, but I have a feeling it will be worth every penny.
 
Tomorrow is baking and cooking day. I want to make as much food as possible, so it's easy to reheat and eat. It could be interesting cooking without my beloved gluten, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
