A Week Of Recovery

It's been a week and for the most part it has not been awful:) I am getting better and just about ready to resume my daily chores. I will be both happy and sad to see my mother leave tomorrow, God knows I could not have recovered the past week without her. She has stepped in and done all my "jobs" plus others I had been putting off. And when my in-laws were in town last weekend, they got all of my laundry done so I am all caught up, if only I keep up with it:)

I had the week off from school(both mine and the kids:)and only had soccer to deal with during my recovery. I have had wonderful support from friends and family and I will never be able to thank everyone, but I will keep trying. I am looking forward to get back to life next week, I am starting to miss it.

I also celebrated a birthday yesterday, 34! Ben says that I am officially in my mid-thirties now and getting old!!! What a nice husband:) To celebrate, Ben, my mom and I went to dinner. It was nice to get out without the kids even though we were all pretty tired.

Soome Good!

There was Good News to be had today! That means that some of the stress has been lifted. All that is left now is getting through surgery! What I am most concerned about is that awful feeling I get after anesthesia. All sick to my stomach and dizzy! I hate that! I almost wish they would just numb the area and leave me awake:)

I am glad it is an out patient procedure and that my mother arrives on Saturday! My in-laws come in tomorrow night and will be here to watch the monsters Friday while I am under the knife!

I am using this surgery as an excuse to buy a few new nightgowns and a pair of sleepers:) So at least there is a positive in there.

What a Couple of Weeks!

Surgery day has almost arrived, thank God! I on down to only 4 more sleepless, stress-filled nights! Hopefully I will have some good pain pills afterward that will buy me 1 or 2 good nights:)

My in-laws arrive on Thursday to help with the kids while I am in surgery and then my mom gets here on Saturday to help for a whole week! I cannot wait, soon I will have a clean house:) So, if you ever wanted to stop by my house, do it within two weeks of my mom leaving, after that I give up on the cleaning:)

I've had so other "stuff" going on too the past couple of weeks and I has been tough on me. It was "perfect storm" and boy it isn't working for me! Maybe after surgery and my big birthday next week- I will get moving in the right direction!!!
