Tough to do

So I have quit.  Then two of my children get together to decide what everybody will get when I die and tell me I have to make a will before I go for surgery.  I didn't think it would be hard, but oh my, it is difficult.  I decided to do a video last will and testament.  I know why I don't do selfies, man that is one old woman in this video.

I have made 4 videos and deleted 3.  Hopefully I will get it the way I want it soon.  Just thinking about it makes me want a cigarette.  However I would have to put on shoes and drive somewhere, but it is cold and rainy and I am warm and snug.  

Still waiting on the doctors in Shreveport and Dallas to make a game plan.  The aneurysm I have is positioned on top of the veins that go off to legs, stomach, liver, etc.  If the stent is not placed correctly they could "screw" one of those, and cause major problems, including death.  Hence the reason the kids want everything in place.

I am thankful they are in agreement on what they want.  I used to threaten to burn it down and go to the beach on the insurance money.

Just wandering here, until the urge to smoke goes away.  Thank you all for listening.

What a wonderful Mom you are....not only will they have a record of your wishes, but a video of you to treasure.  My daughter went through my house and took pictures of everything of value (interest?) and put them on he cloud.  she then sent me a link and asked me to write a short description of where it came from, etc. 

They may not have realized it, but your kids also provided a great crave buster!

If I remember correctly, today is Day One?  How is it going?

So far so good.  I am just restless waiting on others to set my schedule.  I am a planner, and have no plan.

Wanda, It's hard, but you can do this. Stay snug and warm and forgetter about those cigarettes. I'm sending my prayers that your surgery goes well and not as the doctors have warned.
