Want Avon…..contact me! 🙂
The patient is hanging in there.   The surgery went quickly and without any flaws and J was actually home by 11 yesterday.   He felt good too, as he was still numbed and on pain pills to boot.   His parents (bless their hearts) stayed ALL day yesterday and his mom and I got to go grocery shopping before I picked up Kooky for the day.   Jeff was starting to get sore last night and today he is VERY sore.   He never takes so much as an aspirin for pain, yet he is taking two of the doctor ordered vicodens at a time.   He is a great person to take care of though.   He has been confined to the recliner and sleeps mostly.   He asks for things every now and then, but I am caring for Kooky more.   I am trying to do normally for her/with her what I always do.   I really missed him last night when it was time for bed.   But it was movie night and her and I crashed out in my bed all night long.   She loves it, but not to the point that she’ll start demanding it or anything like that.   I had planned to take her to a local parade today with my sis, but then I realized that he would not be good enough to leave alone for a few hours.   Her and I did take a walk today, but that was not long.  Tonight we’ll be attending that party and his parents will be back over.   I’ll be home tomorrow to sit with him and this week however long I feel I am needed.
I really felt like a wife yesterday.   Funny after nearly 5 years of marriage, huh?   I was talked to about him and told things, and it felt so important.   I took care of his meds at the pharmacy and it felt good to do it for him.
When my MIL and I dropped Kooky off yesterday, she was so sad.   She cried for "Nama" when we were leaving.   I would have loved to have brought her, but hospital waiting rooms are too much for a toddler.   It worked out well having the house quiet for the better part of the day.
