Pictures in entry before this!!
J went to his consult today. I wanted to go, but he seemed to be OK going alone. I guess I shall be missing enough work as it is, so probably good that I stayed here at the office. But now he is wandering and worrrying all by his lonesome.
He has surgery Friday the 15th. June. A mere two weeks away. Out of the two options for surgery, he is having the bigger one that requires more recovery time and pain. He will be out of work for up to 6 weeks, and might have a hospital stay in his future. So I am dropping Kooky off at day care that Friday and going to the hospital after that and I’ll go from there. I can arrange for her to be picked up if need be. The weekend is after that and we have a birthday party to attend for Kooky’s best friend forever (toddlers!!) and I was going to cancel but J just says to go and enjoy myself. I will be taking care of the baby for the most part anyway. It makes it a lot harder! Kiri, how did you ever do it? I can lean on my sis and D to watch her for jaunts to visit him. I am reluctant to bring her, as I don’t know if she is too young for visitation and how she’ll react to seeing him and having to leave him there. I don’t know. I have never dealt with this, other than his dad a few years back for diverticulitis. Pre Kooky days. It was a lot different.
So he’ll make less on disability and might have to switch jobs. He cannot even return to work completely after his recovery. We’ll have to cut back and put the extra check I am getting this month away, rather then towards bills as I had planned. We can do it. I was hoping for less down time for him, but he needs as long as it takes for him to be better.
The oddest thing is imagining him not being home for a few nights. I’ll be alright, but it’ll be different.
I’m worried. The idea of what could happen but likely won’t scares me. Surgery is never good. His family and mine will be there to help us out, in any case.
That is scary! I’ll say some prayers but things have a way of working themselves out. As for taking care of the little one, you can do it. Take it moment by moment. I find if I don’t think of the entire thing all at once I’m good…that and a long term plan on the calendar…still day by day for tackling.

It’s a lot of hard work, not just physically but mentally. J will get frustrated at being dependant upon you and you’ll get frustrated at having him dependant upon you plus have the job of minding Kooky all the time. Use the family as much as possible, Bob’s family helped a few times minding Miss Fidgets when he was in hospital but that was it. Take outs and messy house works wonders! *hugs*
