Land of the living.

Well it has been 5 days since I had surgery, and I finally feel like I am among the "Land of the Living". I was so nervous about surgery, but even more nervous about the IV. That morning I got up and put my "big girl panties on" and made it through it. Of course I through them away, because I don't want to have to use them anytime soon. That morning the nurse got the IV in the first try. Brittin called right before they came to get me, and it made me cry. She is such a sweet heart. The anesticia man came in and gave me a tequilla sunride (Sleeping med.) then a nurse came and said we need to give you a shot in the stomache. It was a blood thinner. I could have cried. I asked if she could possibly wait until I was a sleep and she said yes.
Then I was out. I was really sick when I woke up. I was nauseated. But Mark got me home and got food in my stomache and I felt better. I the hardest part after surgery was me trying to get out of bed by myself. You know you have to use those stomache muscle for alot of things. Mark took a few days off and took care of me. I am so greatful to have had him there. With having no family here, we did pretty good. He cleaned, cooked, got kids off to school and even did laundry. He hung everything out on the clothesline and folded and put away. I couldn't have asked for more. My kids didn't fight as much and were in my room checking on me all the time. Of course we had a few of them home during the week, with a virus. I have Brady, Kenna and Izzy home with me know trying to get them better before school tomorrow.
I am so glad it is this week and not last week at this time. It is all over and done with and hopefully we can get everyone healthy and enjoy the rest of our fall.
