So, you might be wondering how I'm doing... Well, I went back to work on Monday and just have been trying to take it easy. Not lifting any heavy weight, but trying to move as much as I can. The pain for the most part is gone. Now it's just more tender to the touch and to press up against anything. I just wish the body would get back to normal. I had one of the stitches come out. I called the doc to inform them, but they told me to keep an eye on it and if it gets any worse let them know. Anyways, as you can tell by the pictures that follow, I haven't lost the gas/bloating/swealing that happened since the surgery. I tried on some "Fat day" jeans the other day and I could BARELY get them on. I'm still wearing the 2 pairs of maternity pants that I bought before the procedure. And if you look at the pictures... I look like I'm pregnant. Maybe soon! I can only hope!

We dropped mom off on Saturday, on the way back we stopped off to Bavarian Inn, for their famous chicken dinners. It was VERY yummy with not a pretty price tag along with it. Oh well! After we ate we were off to Bronners - We got a few things! We walked out of there with only spending $22! That's a record for us!

Here's a few things that I got:











































I also got a few more Snowman Ornaments and a banner. But I have been going around looking for a snowflake, snowman or a star Tree topper. No success, yet! But I will find one! I have though gotten a few other things. Take a look and everything that I'm getting is $10 or less! Can't beat that!






























































Christmas Invites DONE! They are even mailed out now too! I worked on these for a couple of days and I think they turned out really good! I liked using my scrapbooking skills!

Here's how they turned out!

































When I was at Micheal's looking for the supplies for to make the invitations - I found some recipe cards that had the snowflake design. I thought it would be interesting to put them in with the invitation to have everyone bring a recipe and exchange them at the party - whomever was interested.



















I went to the dentist today to get a filling. The numbing took FOREVER to fade, but finally it has! I also went to Goodwill to buy another pair of Maternity Pants. Since as I said earlier - I can't fit into my own pants. Which SUCKS! But I'm hoping it won't take that much longer to get back to normal.

I don't get another day off till Black Friday. Which is alright I guess. Considering that two of the days are only 4 hour shifts. That being Saturday and Thanksgiving. I know Saturday I'm decorating my office. That should be fun. Mom gave me a little Fiber-optic Christmas tree, which I'm taking that into work. Now, I just need to load all of the Christmas music back onto my Ipod, since it's becoming that season! Where did this year go, honestly. This year has just flown by!

Here's a picture of the small tree!
Isn't so cute? It comes with the ornaments!







I was hoping that there would be some good sales this year, since money is a little more tight than it was last year, due to all of the doctor visits, co-pays and medications. Hopefully we can still get some nice things for a good deal, without seeming cheap. I have taken a look at the flyers for this black friday. The good site that I like going to, since I like to "look" at the ad and not look at a list is http://www.blackfriday.info/ Great Site! There's nothing that really catches my eyes or Eric's eyes. He did see a Blue ray disc player at Sears and Kmart that he was interested in, but I'm a little resistant on that. I just don't want to switch everything over to Blue Ray. Does that sound stupid or no? The best thing that I saw was movies and more movies for dirt cheap! That's what we are getting! That's fine by me! :-)

I have been working on the class reunion stuff lately. Trying to find some of the people that I haven't been able to get the addresses for. I think I still have 22 people left for addresses. I need to really get a move on it, since I have to have the list sent in sometime in December.

Well, I think I'm done for now. I will write more, when I have more to say! :-P

Gotta love Vicodin!

I know I do at the moment. Even though - I feel like I'm kinda drunk. It does make the pain go away though. And that's the best thing EVER!

Mom is still is coughing a lot and isn't doing any better. So, Eric took her to the Urgent Care here in Mason. Hopefully she will start feeling better by the time the she has to go to work tomorrow. I told her NOT to do anything at all today. The past few days she's been doing dishes, vacuuming the floors, doing laundry. Which is really nice and all, but she needs to take care of herself too. I just wish I could focus a little more. It took me about all I had to do the bills today.

Hopefully I can finish the Christmas Invites tonight - I have to get the pictures of them up. I hand crafted the Christmas invites. I think they turned out really good. And maybe I can work on some work that I brought home. I don't need to fall super behind again.

That's all for now. Stay Tuned for more updates.

Well, the wait is over

I'm now home... The surgery went as planned... All the staff was very nice and helpful! I couldn't have asked for anything more while I was there. I left the hospital about 3. I got home and tried to eat, but the soup or the crackers didn't work. That came right back up. So, I laid down for a little bit. Then I tried eating again - just saltine crackers. That didn't work either. So, once again - I laid back down. Later on in the night I was able to drink some broth from chicken noodle soup with some saltine crackers. When I started feeling some pain I asked Eric about the pain killers, he said when he signed me out of the hospital he never got a prescription for me. So, now I'm playing phone tag with the doctor, but still nothing yet. Hopefully soon I will get a call saying that the prescription has be called in.

Well, I'll keep updating once new stuff comes up.

Nervous!

Tomorrow is the big day and I'm nervous as hell! I've been trying to calm down by listening to calming music. It's helping a little bit. Just not helping as much as I would like it to. It has been nice having mom around. I came home from work yesterday and all the dishes were done and she was washing towels. I just wish she was feeling better. She's had this nasty cough that she can't get rid of. I took home the Zicam stuff for her to take during the daytime. It seemed like it started helping by the end of the night. I hope so. I don't want to see her sick.

Anyways, I will be going in for the surgery's tomorrow. I'll be at Sparrow's main campus, wherever the out patient surgery is located. I'm scheduled at 12 - noon, but I have to be there at 10 to go into pre-op.

I got the call from the nurse yesterday and she gave me some strict instructions.
-No eating after 12, midnight tonight.
~No water
~No Ice Chips
~No gum
~No NOTHING!
-Remove all jewelry, but wedding ring can stay on.
-Wear comfortable loose clothing.

Well, this is going to be the last blog until after the surgery. I'm sure that I will have the laptop in bed if I'm feeling up to it and if the pain killers don't make me groggy...

Wish me luck! And for a quick recovery time!
