recovery

My recovery is going well. The doctor removed my catheter last wednesday... couldn't be happier about that. I have been cleared to be up for roughly 5 minutes every hour. Basically long enough to use the bathroom and get some snack or drink, but then the rest of my time is spent on the couch. A reality I am not particularly fond of. I am getting bored, but am determined to follow doctor's directions so I heal properly this time around. I know, not exactly normal for me!

We couldn't be happier about the lack of pain. Afterall I can finally sleep through the night, and am not so cranky in the morning anymore. Still not a morning glory, but better.

Nate has been great about everything! He has been chasing after the kids and doing some of my chores. The kids have picked up some of the slack too so at least I don't feel like my house may burn to the ground if one more piece of paper falls near an outlet.

School is out next Thursday so we will see how things go with all the kids home and wanting to be entertained. Luckily we have fantastic neighbors who don't mind us crashing their pools. Will be a great alternative while I heal in the next couple weeks.

Thanks for all the thoughts and checking in on us!
