On the Move...

Well, I knew the time would come when I had to get back to life and all of my responsibilities. No more laying on the couch in a Lortab cloud. Oh, well, it was good while it lasted. The last few days have been a blur, but I am feeling a bit better- still incredibly sore. Went to the doctor today for my post-op check , and he said everything looks good, but I had a "knot" in one of my incisions. I thought he meant the kind of knot that can be massaged out or rubbed or just watched. Heck, no. Apparantly some of my skin had grown over a stitch and knotted it, so he had to get a big ole pair of hemostats and just yank that knot out, along with the piece of skin that was on it. (May I remind you that this was a sensitive area to begin with....) He had to yank it 3 or 4 times before it finally came off and I thought I was absolutely going to vomit on him or either faint dead away.... I actually held it together but as soon as he left the room I sat up and put my head between my knees. Then I had to go to the grocery store and I barely made it through that. Just typing about it makes me feel sick... I am so grateful that Emmaline spent the night with Aunt Libby last night so I did not have to deal with her this morning. I came home, put up the groceries and laid on the couch for a little while before I had to go get Annelise at school. Brian made a breakfast casserole for dinner tonight and I am making blueberry muffins and fruit to go with it. The girls are both going to be worn out tonight so they will get a bath and go to bed on time and then I am going to crash. I slept 1 hour last night and have no idea why. At least the phone calls have been pretty tame today for the office. Oh, well- back to those- hope tommorrow is a better day!!
