It's creeping up.

There are only eleven days until my surgery and I'm trying my hardest to get ready. So what have I done?

Bought sterigel for by the toilet

Ordered a iwalk 2.0 knee crutch.

Bought a selection of tie top bin bags for the time when I can shower. Also have small towels to go around the top to collect drips.

Currently planning a menu for three or four weeks or so so I don't have to cook. Of course before hand there will be much cooking & bagging but at least I won't be having to make choices from my bed. The family can just grab and cook or reheat.

Removed the nail polish on my toes and I've been spoiling them with lotion wraps to prevent them causing terror in the hearts of the doctors and nurses.

I've cleared the top of my drawers and bedside table to act as a medication repository.  I have also rearranged my drawers so that the wearable clothes are at the top where I can possibly sit on the bed but definitely balance on one foot to access.

I've got a positive backlog of books to read in my kindle and iBooks apps. It will be a lovely treat to not have to apologise for lying around reading.

I have replaced the battery in my MacBook Pro so that it can exist separate from its adapter again. I'll be able to do some writing , I hope.

I have also been exercising a lot. I want to not only go into the operation fit but to come out of it fit too. I've been seeing what exercises are conducive with an out of condition foot in case I am inspired to try to keep up my fitness.

I'm looking at bills coming up and trying to organise paying them before the operation.

So currently everything falls in two categories - BS & AS. Not a lot is appearing on AS list.
