Well, another busy day! I have talked with Amber a few times - she's doing good, food is ok, registered for classes yesterday and started classes today! This morning, after a rough night with Lyndsay who is getting a cold, I stayed up after Jeremy left for work and went to Walmart to get groceries and the rest of the kids' school supplies and belts for the boys. I got home at 6:45am and took a shower, then started cleaning the kitchen floors, swept and cleaned the bathroom when the phone rang at 8am - it was the hospital wanting to know if I could come earlier - as soon as possible. I told her I would try and be there in an hour. I called my mom in law and she said she could come right away. I hurried and called the babysitter, then threw a few things in the bag for the girls, we got them up and loaded in the car. I felt bad for Lyndsay - her nose was all green and I tried cleaning it with a wipie, but it needed a warm wash cloth. So, got them to school and came home to wait for Mom and left for and arrived at the hospital at 9:15am. I was taken to the pre-op room at around 10:15am and surgery at 11am maybe? Times are fuzzy with all the drugs they gave me! So, in the operating room, they put a mask on me and told me to breathe deep and just when I thought I was going to have a panic attack from feeling claustrophic, I was waking up in the recovery room! She said, are you waking up? No, back to sleep I go for awhile. What a nice nap after a bad night's sleep! So, I got home at around 2:45pm today with an ace bandage from my foot to above my knee for the next 48 hours and then I can change it and rewrap it. I was bummed because I have to send the girls to Jen's house still tomorrow cuz I have to elevate the leg and stay off my feet for 24 hours. It does start to throb when I stand up to use the restroom, etc. I will take a peek at it later to see what it looks like. He said he "nicked" it quite a few places and there are no stitches, just the small incisions... So, I am sitting here on the couch with my foot up on pillows, getting to catch up on computer stuff that I've pretty much neglected the last 2 weeks! I enjoyed spending time with Mom Rich today, we had some good laughs with the different nurses and staff. I told them I wanted them to remember me all day long! My husband and Brooke are making pancakes and bacon for dinner and it smells great! Our chickens are laying eggs pretty good 4 a day right now out of 10 hens, so I'm sure we'll be getting more and more til they are all laying once a day. So, there'll be fresh brown eggs for sale soon as well as fresh eggs in the zuchinni bread I will be making for the reunion on Sunday! I will post a picture later and will enjoy catching up on the computer. I plan on laying in my bed all day tomorrow since I'll have no little ones to chase. All the housework I thought I might be able to do will have to wait SIGH! Have a great night!
PS - I forgot to tell you, on the way home, we stopped and picked up the pictures of Amber we had taken at Paetz Photography and the group photo of the kids - they turned out terrific! I am soooo pleased! I can take them to our family reunion on Sunday to show everyone since I can't scan them and post them - against the law, I guess cuz they are professional! He scanned the picture I had of Danielle and put it in the picture with the kids - very cool! Amber is beautiful, of course and both poses I bought are great! I will have to surprise her and send them to her!
