Feeling Better

I am feeling much better today. My body is still in recovery mode, but over all I do feel better!

They Said It Would Be A Snap

My gallbladder surgery, that is. Well, it was not. My blood sugar went sky high and they almost didn't let me go home. Then there was the nausea. Started from the minute they sat me up on Monday until this morning. But, I am happy to say I am feeling better today. My stomach, heartburn, etc.. still is kind of yucky! (By the way the Doc said my gallbladder was full of infection.) It was no "snap" that is for sure. Three year old Sydney wanted to know why the Dr. keeps giving me "ouchies". Good question I said. She was very careful to not bump my tummy. I went across the street to get my "Syd time." We read her new books and played Cinderella. I of course am the fairy god-mother.
Well, it's more R & R for me. I don't plan to do much for the next couple days.

Friday, Fish Day

Aren't you supposed to eat fish on Friday? Oh maybe that is just for catholics during lent. Well, anyway I had some good fish today for lunch. There is nothing much new. It's too cold to do anything. Too bad we have to go to the "last" football game tonight. It's the senior candlewalk. Well, we're just going to the 4th quarter and then be there for the candle thing. Brrrrrrr! I could never sit through the whole game. Tomorrow I have to work, ugh! A Men's group at a church. I'm doing a presentation. Then I'm coming back home and going in my beddie bye. Not really, but wishful thinking!

Pooped Out

The soccer mom for a day is all pooped out. The birthday party (for the dogs) was later than expected. By the time we got the kids settled down it was 9 p.m. I fell right asleep. But, then the girls came home and Sydney woke up. It took a long time to get her back to sleep. But, she was quick to get up at 7:30 a.m. Evan too. And, they were hungy. I had to feed them. I think I was half asleep. I gave them Sugar Pops and Pop Tarts. Put in a movie and "tried" to sleep on the couch. At about 9 they were bored so I swapped places with Sarah. I took a "nap" from 9 to 10. Man, little kids are a lot of work. But, we had bunches of fun!

Soccer Mom

That was me today. I had to take Evan to his soccer game and bring Syd too. We grabbed a water bottle, put the chair in the trunk, Syd in her carseat and started out. It was a 10:00 a.m. game. Whew it was a hot morning. We forgot Syd's little folding chair so she had to sit in my lap. Evan's team won, 3 to 1. Then we went back home for about an hour. Evan took a shower and Syd played. Then we piled back into the car, picked up Sasa, then Alyssa (my little sis) and we all went to Chuck E. Cheese. After that we went to the pet store. It was adopt a pet day.........Yikes! Eveyone wanted to take a doggie or kitty home. NO WAY!!
That was exhausting. Syd fell alseep on the way home. I sure wish I could have too. Then we chilled out for about an hour. Evan, Syd and I made a birthday cake for Bailey and Phoebe (his sister). Now we are waiting for Phoebe and her mom and dad. We are having a BIRTHDAY PARTY for them. CRAZY!! Then the dogs will open presents and eat birthday cake. They are seven years old. 49 in human years.......same age as me. I hope they don't feel the same way I do!!! Anyways, we are having brownies.

Cholecystectomy "To remove gallstones and prevent new ones from forming."

On October 22nd. A snap, no big deal said the doc. "Ok", said I. I'm starting to feel like a pincushion!! Too bad they can't recut my incisions from my earlier Nissan-Fundo-plas-whatever surgery. But, that would cause too much scar tissue. So, anyway that are the facts. I can still enjoy my weekend trip up North.

October 1st

Wow, hard to believe. I am home for lunch and I don't want to go back to work because it is cold and raining cats and dogs. That is one thing I don't like about my job--I have to get in and out of the car alot. It really stinks in the winter! I hope the rain doesn't knock all the leaves down. I hope we can still go up north on the 19th. I am really looking forward to that.
