This week has been filled with pre-op doctor visits, baking and shopping. It is only wednesday night and I feel like I have reached my limit and could crawl in a hole and sleep for days. This also happens to be the week of our county fair. Our fair is a good old fashioned fair with barn animals, tractor pulls and yummy goodies. No rides, no games....just farm stuff. And as you already know I married into a farming family. That means I spend nearly every night at the fair. The boys love it (hubby included) and I think its pretty cool too. Mainly because I get to see lots of people that I don't normally see. I took the boys up last night with the intentions of only dropping off our entries into the garden veggie competition.....we entered two types of tomatos, Celebrity and Lemon Boys. I also needed to drop off cookies for the Robotics Team bake sale. What started as a quick trip ended up a few hours long. I should have known better. The boys had a blast and I eventually quit trying to hurry them up and enjoyed myself too. Tonight Hubby will be going with us....in fact he will be here in a few minutes since he worked until 6pm tonight.
Wow...I got WAY off track. I wanted to talk about my pre-op visits. As of right now everything is all set for my surgery next thursday. I was happier than a lottery winner when the surgeon said I did NOT have to do any bowel prep before hand. Woo Hoo!!! (sorry, TMI) Both surgeons are in agreement that I can expect a harder recovery due to my fibromyalgia and sjogrens. But I am trying to be optomistic because we know this ahead of time and they plan to work with me to easy any ill effects or extra pain I might have afterwards. So as of right now they expect my surgery to be around 4 hours long and for me to be in the hospital at least 2 nights but maybe longer. I think I am ready.....I just hope I dont over think all this in the next week.
Ok...Im off to the fair again. Have a great night!!

I hope everything goes well with your surgery. My favorite part about any fair is the food.
okay, but you didn't address the most important issue of ALL... does the hospital have internet access?????
i don't know if i have ever been to a fair... it sounds awesome.
I missed when your surgery was going to be. off to catch up on your blog.
Praying for you and a quick recovery.
I don't miss living back there and everyone saying come on go to the fair. I didn't like the fair when we lived there except for the food. It was just that it smelled like a farm which stinks. It makes me happy that you love being a farmers wife. You can live off everything you grow and even the cows you raise. I do miss living back there to be near you.
My prayers are with you Babe for your surgery and we will be there soon to help with your recovery.
I have never been to a fair like that! Good luck with your surgery, what kind is it exactly?
Are you nervous? Feeling OK? We can start praying NOW for this surgery!!!
Sending you big HUGS!!!!
I hape all goes well, SITSta!
Praying now for a good recovery! You will be fine!
I wish our fair wouldn't have the rides and games...love the barns and equipment best! :)
Gosh, somehow I don't know what you're haveing surgery for. I feel terrible that I don't know, but you know you have my prayers.
