Rob's surgery is tomorrow

[cjsmith]

Tomorrow is a heck of a day.

8AM: I deliver Duchess to the vet
9:45AM: I deliver Rob to the surgery center; I wait there
10:45AM: Rob gets wheeled into the OR for foot surgery
1PM(ish): Rob is conscious enough to come home
After that: I put Jell-O on the table near him & get him anything he needs
Later: I go get ice for Rob's cold machine
5:30PM: I pick up Duchess & some prescription food from the vet

I'm going to be exhausted, and I'm not the one who has to have surgery. I wish I could somehow make this easier on him.

That's what Rob says the doctor said, too. (If you can parse that you're doing better than I am.) A patient of hers had one foot done with and one without, and that patient came back to the office saying "You have to MAKE EVERYONE use these machines!" I'm glad to hear it'll help him.

(I think I did really well just icing the heck out of my feet, but then I am surprisingly good at following doctors' orders for stuff like that. I honestly did have ice on them the entire time I was awake. I opted not to have the cold machine because with both feet out of commission at once, I was going to have enough trouble moving around.)
