Sorry about your weather @Snowie it’s hot and humid here just how I like it.
ECT was ok but maybe I’m expecting too much from it. Pdoc says we can discuss discharge tomorrow and what it will look like.
Surgery is booked for 2 weeks from Wednesday 🤞

Yes @rav3n 2 more ect sessions and hopefully discharge on Friday 🤞
I just did some washing so will have some clean clothes again 😊
Hugging bunny sounds good.

Weather is so up and down @Eve7
It's hard to know what to expect from ECT hon. Sometimes I think it really helps and other times I don't think it does much. I guess I've even thought of it as a 'magic fix' before.
Hopefully you can set up a plan with your pdoc tomorrow.
I hope your surgery can go ahead. Have you worked out care afterwards?

I think the pdoc sees it as a “magic fix” too @Snowie but I’m trying to remain positive.
Aftet surgery I think I’ll order lite n easy for meals so that will take care of food. I’ve had my bathroom renovated so I have a walk in shower and I’ll stay in hospital about 5 days. The physio will be available on iPad when I go home so hopefully all goes well.
Did you go and get your ski gear?

HI @rav3n
Went up to the mountain to collect our snow gear.
@Eve7 got everything we needed. Just have to check weights now. The ski boots and ski's weigh a fair bit.
Lite n easy is a good idea. At least you only have to put it into the microwave and it's done.
I remember you getting your bathroom done.
Hopefully everything will go smoothly for you and you'll be up and running again.
I think my pdoc thinks a bit like that too.
