This will be my last blog for several days as I will take a wait and see attitude on how well I do as a one armed patient. The atmosphere here is brimming with high excitement and swings from that to a bit of nervousness and includes nervous business. I have my alarm clock set for the morning as I know myself well enough that morning routines need to be adhered to prior to Dennis and I leaving for Mankato for the long awaited shoulder surgery with Dr. Jesse. I have had a mantra running as of late “I can do this, I can do this.” Catch the world again when I get home.

I am on the last roundup here on Stauffer Ave. Making a list and checking it twice. 48 hours to a new shoulder and Dennis knows I will be doing last minute items right to the time that we leave for Mankato and the wonders of Doctor Jesse. The items on the list are nothing unusual it is just the order of things as we leave behind snow and winter and transfer into spring. it was only 25 degrees this morning but I had to have the thermostat in the home at a very low setting. My metabolism ramps up my internal thermostat quickly. Will anyone check the sewing area for flailing threads during the next several months? No — but I would know they were there and — now they aren’t. It’s a good thing. I have had to go through surgery several times and knowing that the home front has been tidied – it’s the peace that passes all understanding.

So much sun and so much snow and we can only wonder what the next weather system will bring which they are warning may have a few flakes. For me I am touching as much as I can within our home much like a Yorkshire mama pig that is making ready for – something. She would be making ready for piglets. Kevin tells me that Sophie is one that gathers all her toys when her hormones are racing. I on the other hand have a mind that is racing anticipating what I will need at close range making ready for a time when I have to be a very good patient after getting a brand new shoulder. It is official, I have my medical wrist band on that was issued yesterday upon giving a blood draw at Mankato. One day at a time and lots of patience.

Dennis had a meeting in Mankato and of course it was a great time to run some errands. Spring must be coming closer as the traffic showed signs much like calves that were finally let out of the barn after a long winter: crazy with speed and letting everyone know their car horns work. Grammies are not intimidated.
