Today, the kids go back to school - and I find myself at home alone (with the dog). This is a big test for me, because this is what most of my time is going to be like after surgery. How do I interact with food? Do I remember to drink enough water? Do I remember to make a meal, but eat it slowly? Can I eat away from a screen?
I'm not really sure about any of these answers, but certainly the rush-about of the morning adds stress to the day that wasn't there in the summer. On the other hand, with kids not constantly munching on snacks, I may not become engaged in snacking either.
One of the interesting things to contemplate is that, after my surgery, I may have to force myself to eat - I won't be hungry for hungry's sake, but I'll need to eat to maintain my energy.
That is a completely foreign concept to me. Unimaginable.
