Pre-op! Oven! Protein :(

Next stop today: ENT office, to go through my instructions and get my nose swab. I'm excited!

Steph made me coffee ♦️💙♦️ which is good because I got more than None Sleep, but last night is still going to be charted in red on my log sheet.


The other day I heard a rattle coming from the oven fan. It's apparently got both a convection fan and a cooling fan. Warranty folks came through and
a) agreed with me: this fan does not work well
b) guess what, the replacement part does not exist,
so
c) we're getting a new replacement oven
d) to be installed the day after Thanksgiving (US).

Oven still works, though, and we have The Roaster if we choose to do a turkey.


Sadly, Costco was out of my protein powder, so I said "ok we can get a chocolate flavored one" but UNFORTUNATELY we didn't read the label, so now Belovedest is returning it (unopened) because not only does it have HIDDEN BELL PEPPER WTF, it also has banana. I am willing to chance trace amounts of bell pepper, but based on the way my lips tingled the last time I allowed banana to touch them, there is absolutely no way.

Nose again (testing email post also; I will know that it's posted slightly after it's gone through)

Naturally, I thought of some questions after I was done with the pre-op appointment, but that's all right. It was a very quick in and out, then just as I got home there was the call from the hospital to confirm the scheduling. It's been bumped up an hour from the initial time, and the surgeon says that I should do my best to fast after midnight (instead of merely 8 hours from checkin) on account of it's entirely possible that there will be cancellations that could bump me up further. Good to know.

My throat is absolutely going to dry out while we wait, but hopefully they'll let me have some nose spray or something so I don't hurt my throat (again) while talking.

I'm taking this as an excuse to tidy my desk a little more. Steph found some receipts for me to scan and put them on top of my scanner :D I did have to set up a full-page scan thing before doing them, but it was otherwise so very quick. I like this.

The surgery is anticipated to be about 45 minutes, early afternoon US Pacific time, plus however long it takes for me to arrive at coherence.

I'm reviewing my mobile post settings, so now not just Nora and Belovedest may post as me while I'm out, but also Steph. If nothing broke within the last few years, my crosspost tag should work as well. https://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/emailpost?mode=help&type=headers
