My, my, my it's been a minute!
Well obviously if I'm writing this and you are reading it, you know I woke up from surgery! LOL!
Today is my 6 week post op anniversary and boy do I feel better than week one. To say it was rough in the beginning is an understatement.
However, I made it and can say I'm doing better than I thought I would be at this point. Thank God!
I kept that walker busy for a couple weeks. I was so thrilled when I was able to put it to rest! Netflix was a life saver, both day and night.
This was my view for two weeks...I actually don't remember much of that time! Pain pills and I don't mix.
Lisa took such good care of me during this time and everything else. I felt so guilty once I was awake and aware enough to know what was going on. I also felt so bad for Sky. Thank God he had camp and it helped when Lisa got the pool up. If I ever have to have this surgery again (and the chances of that are pretty good) I will do it during the school year, during the cold winter months. It sucks for him and it sucks for me to basically miss an entire summer!
Plus, I wouldn't have to shave my legs. The no bending part of this recovery is probably one of the most annoying. We did manage to come up with a brilliant way that I could shave my legs on my own. Before this little invention Lisa had to do it. Bless her, she also painted my toes. Did a fabulous job I might add! :)
I was able to participate for the most part in the festivites for the Fourth of July. I even made a no bake pie...the first thing I had "cooked" in a four weeks!
Sky and Lisa made their traditional rice krispie treats :)
She also made THE most delicious homemade cheeseburgers I have ever had! I put the baked beans together...so technically I cooked two things ;)
The boy had such a good time this year! He lit all his own fireworks! Growing up waaaaay too fast.
Once I was feeling better I got into teacher mode and started panicking about going back to work in August. I'm moving to 1st grade this year, which is younger than any other grade I've ever taught, and I'm nervous about being able to keep up with them since my surgery.
So I started planning!
Target and Dollar Tree gets me every year!
I'm so excited about this new book! I've got most of my first week mapped out...I just need to get into the school so I can get it all together.
He has become an expert vacummer! (I know that's not a word)
We made it outside to catch lightening bugs :)
This past weekend I was able to make waffles! One of these days when I get myself together a little more I will start sharing recipes here. My goal is to get all the recipes my family loves onto the blog so they can make them too.
Last but not least, I was FINALLY able to have a drank! It's been soooooo long and it was soooooo good.
Well that wraps up the last six weeks. Hopefully it won't be that long before I'm up to writing again!
