Tears for Fears - and Weight For It!

I have a motto - Be Prepared! This means that any and every disaster that could befall me has been well thought out in advance. Comet coming down on the motorway? Yep I've thought that one through. Earthquakes, tsunamis, fire, flood and famine - all grist to the mill of my active imagination. I don't think I'm morbid as some people suggest, I'm just being practical. When an emergency does occur (as it does fairly rarely) I am the one with the plan of action. Mostly. When something happens that I haven't thought of I have been known to freeze up completely. Like the time a naked madmen went berserk, rampaging through our house and out to the woodpile which he then proceeded to throw through our windows (which were closed at the time). I didn't have a plan for that.

So in preparing for this surgery I was well aware of the things that could go wrong. Its a very risky procedure and can result in some pretty serious hospital time and even death. Until my stomach is completely healed I still run the risk of leaks, which is the serious hospitalisation scenario. What I haven't been prepared for is how smoothly things have gone, and I now have that nagging feeling that something is bound to go wrong because its all gone so right. That is all horse-feathers of course. I have to pull myself up and have a damn good laugh at myself.

I have added a weight converting widget on the sidebar because, being a New Zealander we are all metric. I weigh myself in Kilos. Due to the fact that I am quite oldish, Kilos mean less to me in weight that Stones and Pounds do so I convert the Kilos to Stones and Pounds. On the American websites that I frequent, however, the weight standard is just Pounds, so I also convert to Pounds also in order to communicate in American. I found a nifty website which I will put in my links which gives you ALL the weights at once. I love it. The gadget is a very cut down version of what they do. I hope someone else enjoys playing with it as much as I do.
