Thankful

I had my two week post op appointment today. Everything is healing like it is supposed to, which is a good thing! I am ready to get my body back, well not my parts, just the movement. Starting next Monday I get to drive, woo hoo, not that I didn't mind being chauffeured around by Brian, but I am ready to get my independence back for sure!

I have been thinking a lot about my Grandad these last couple of weeks. He is on my mind all the time. I am so thankful that he has lived as long as he has to get to know my kiddos! David just loves him Grandad. My Me-Me and Grandad came over to my parents on Thanksgiving and David never left his side. He was talking Grandads ear off!

I have to say that I have realized who really cares for you and loves you during this recovery time! I have some of the best neighbors that brought me yummy food, best friends who came and visited me at the hospital, brought me yummy food, just hung out with me to keep me company, and texted daily just to see how I felt. Brooke, MeMe & Grandad, My Parents, Josh & Jenny,my in laws, Tara & Craig and a couple of others were the only family members to check on me! Thank Ya'll so much!

Oh, and Brian, there is no way in hell I could have recovered without him. I love that his job allowed him to take off and be at my beck and call. He said he is buying me a bell for Christmas because he was tired of hearing his name. lol. He has done everything in the house and taken care of the kids so wonderfully! I LOVE YOU BABE! My girls are self sufficient but David is not. He still needs help with getting a drink, only because I don't want the whole gallon of milk poured on the floor, wiping his butt, getting dressed, etc....Brian also got the kids to school on time and picked them up, thank goodness!

Now I am ready to get all my Christmas Shopping done, well as soon as I can walk straight, stupid surgery!

Thanks again to you all for keeping me busy during my time while I was locked in the house bored to death!
