a good night's rest...


its amazing what one will do for you...
I think its another one of those gifts from God that we over look every single day...

been getting up with the chickens here...

and in between breakfast and lunch, DH took me for a little drive...

I so wasn't ready for that...
LOL

and I had him pull over at only one spot...

the rest of the time I was hanging onto my tummy with both hands...

I know now to take a pillow with me to the doctor's on Tuesday...

my 'new' tummy is able to handle anything now...

where it comes out of...
not so sure...
;)
pillows are a wonderful thing...

Happy St Patty's Day!


amen...
hope you all have a great green day!
I have told the guys that I am not to be pinched this year no matter what I wear...
;)
if they pinch me, I'm going naked...
that'll teach them!

tulips and daffodils...

another promise of spring...
we had a wonderful spring-like day here yesterday...

59!
and my guys took me out for a small walk in the afternoon...

wasn't out there too long, when nature called and back in we came...

baby steps keep happening here, and there are a bunch to do...
but I make progress every day...
and I am able to lay down and sleep in my bed again...
just a couple hours at a time right now...
but it feels so good!

the warmer weather left in the night and coldness has seeped back in...
could see snow even later on...
oh, the madness of March...
;)

been in the hallway...

thank you so much for your prayers and kind words...
its been the roughest week for us...
from Wed through Sat, DH and I logged in a total of 12 hours sleep...
still cannot sleep more than 1-2 at a time, but making up ground finally...

fibro...
almost kicked my butt this time...
Craig did some googling for me and we found out they should have done some things pre and post op to make it easier on me...
that my pain level after surgery was 20-30 on a scale of 1-10...
that I should have been in recovery 4-5 times longer than most...

that no one would help me from the hospital when we called for several days...
asking for muscle relaxers...
that these guys ran this vibrator massager on me for hours at a time to get me through this...
I need to check the next time to make sure my primary care physician will not be on vacation the whole week after surgery...
;)
what a ride, and its far from over, but we have come to a resting spot along side of the road...
enough to catch our breath for a spell...


that my men will kneel and pray beside me anytime I ask them...
that God does answer prayers...
and he does it when you need it...

that I fell in love with my husband all over again in these last few days...
this man who cried with me and wants to grow old with me...

I have an appointment with the surgeon on Thursday and not sure if we will be able to make it...
might be next week before I can make it out to the car...
but today is better...
thank you, Lord...
