Results came back today and it turns out that Nana has been suffering from Salmonella. It's not a great option, but much better than her pancreas quitting on her. I'm sure it will take her time to bounce back (she is almost 84) so recovery will be slow going I'm sure.

I went to see the Dr today and with my history it has been decided that I will have a hysterectomy. I'm glad in some ways that it will happen. The constant pain and the fact that my cycles have shortened to 24 days along with the rest of it. I tend to agree with him, but then there will be no turning back. We don't ever plan to do IVF again, but this makes it final. Hubby is upset that this will be major surgery, I don't think he realizes that this will be a finished chapter in our lives. There are no rewrites after this. I'm sure the reality of it all will sink in eventually. I am scheduled for September.

Now for the renos.
Yes Beach Mama the door is gone. Where the front door was will become my walk in closet. We put patio doors at the back in what will become the living room.

So here's the list...
Patio Door-Done
Siding-Done
Windows-Done
Paving-Done
Lay Sod in the front yard-being delivered tomorrow
Clean out the basement so the furnace guy can come in-working on it
Keep the basement tidy so the electrician cam come in-working on it
Rebuild walls in the living room to become our bedroom
Take out walls for the open kitchen/living room
Build the Island in the Kitchen for my gas top stove
Build in the built in oven
Build more cupboards and a desk in the kitchen
Paint the entire main floor

So, as of this weekend the outdoor stuff should be finished and we can start on the inside. It's going to be a long summer......

Off for tonight

So happy to hear that Nana is doing better. Not the greatest news to have Salmonella, but so much better than the pancreas crapping out.

Thank you for clarifying the front door thing, I remembered most of what you told me you were doing, but somehow could not remember the part about the front door and I couldn't figure out why the door was gone and there were no patio doors in it's place.

You still have a side door though? Or are you just thankful that no one will ring your bell anymore ;)?
