Wow - Only 10 Days Away From Surgery

[mufasas-mom 170]

I can't believe its getting so close. I keep thinking I'm all prepared then I come lurking on this site and find out something else that could go wrong.....ugh. Trying to concentrate at work while being surrounded by boxes and boxes of stupid potato chips, sunflower seeds, popcorn, free grandma's cookies....I swear every day it's something else we are giving away here at Frito Lay....I will admit that I tried the grandma's new cookie - pumpkin spice....they were horrid - spit it out.

There is so much to do here at the office before I take my leave of absence, and so thankful that I have Short Term Disability that pays 100% of my salary so I won't have to worry about mortgage and such....and I just can't concentrate...it's so frustrating.

Did anyone else just lose focus at work a week or so prior to surgery? or am i just a freak-a-zoid.

I swear of one more person comes by my desk with a open bag of some new chips that we are in the discovery stages for and asks me to try them..I'm going to slap them. - Maybe I should make a sign for my desk that says "Do Not Feed the Animal".......

you laugh....I swear I'm gonna smack someone - my boss just opened up a bag of Olive Coast chips (made with olive old) and said how good they are....ugh. thank goodness it's a 1/2 day Friday and short week next week....my willpower is fading.

Yep- it's all I think about. Work is on the back burner- although this past week they kept me on my toes. Surgery on the 12th for me. I'm off now until Wed and then will only be back for one week and then it will be time. That thought actually scares me a bit- especially when I read the "what can happen" stories. Yikes! But Alas- we will prevail!

Yes, the week before surgery I could not concentrate at all at work. My brain wouldn't cooperate with me. Maybe keep a Protein Shake or a little healthy snack at your desk and that way you have a little healthy treat when you pass up the new chips! What a struggle that must be - you're very strong!

great - now they are passing out jars of salsa....lord give me the strength not so smite someone. Ok - so i took a jar of salsa, thinking I'll add it to some chicken breasts while they cook all day in the crock pot....of course this is for when I am finally allowed solids.....that's my story and I'm sticking with it!

oh wait....here comes my boss with a giant bag of Smartfood popcorn - Kettle Corn - crap my resolve has broken...I have eaten a handful of these devilish treats.....
