Almost Back

Well, I am almost back to "normal" whatever that means! Just making it on Ibuprofen, except at night . Learned that lesson the hard way, last night I went to bed thinking I would be fine with just Motrin and woke up at about 5:30 this morning hurting A LOT. S0, I know that I will be taking the good stuff before bed tonight. Thank goodness the girls are at Aunt Libby's last night and today. I took a shower this morning and almost passed out- so my fanny will be on the couch for the rest of the day. I had big dreams of going to the grocery store and stuff today, but that is not going to happen. Brian has been such a good nurse. Poor thing. He has never had to care for the girls for this long all by himself. He was so excited that he got to go back to work this morning. For the first few days after my surgery, he would set his alarm for 4 a.m. and give me pain meds so I wouldn't wake up hurting. He made the statement that if something happened and I became disabled, he would have to hire a nanny. Annelise immediately said, "Yeah, and I'll run that nanny right off." She didn't even blink when she said it. She is so funny. Hopefully I will be back to normal in the next couple of days. I really don't have a choice!
