The Prep Work
Today my husband and I went out to Target to pick up a few things for my recovery. He will be away until the week of the surgery, so I wanted his opinion on a few things.
First of all, it's hot right now in Southern California. I know, it's July and it should come as no surprise. But it is freaky hot. I notice it on weekends because we don't have air conditioning. During the week when I'm at work I have an air conditioner in my office and I don't notice things outside so much.
So, today we bought an oscillating fan that has a remote control. Sounds perfect for me, sitting across the room looking to control my own little climate.
At Target we also picked up some nightshirts. I've never really had pajamas, just sleep in an old tee.
I also stopped at Lather for a few very expensive aromatherapy candles. I figure I might want to pamper myself that way.
I've been prepping the guest room, which we're calling the recovery room. I'm gathering my friends and keeping more in touch with my family.
I'm basically nesting and it helps me feel like I'm in control, because there's so much more out of my control.
Any questions or feedback? Feel free to email me.
