Each Day

Each day is more healing. My foot is itchy... good sign for healing however is driving me crazy. I just want to scratch. So tired and sleepy - take naps as often as I can and they help me feel stronger each time. Still taking a regimine of meds, although not as often, but it still needed. The intense of the surgery is the most I have ever gone through. Will I be able to manage? Will I be able to go forward with my left foot? Can I do this all over again?
Am I ready to return to work? Will I have the strength, not just physically, but mentally? What is with the drama that isn't even mine and to be drawn into it? UGH? Well I will get settled in and see how things progress with the new hires and go forward. I love my job and what I do. Remember, remember and it will all turn out for the best.

Two Weeks Out

Such lazy days for me this past weekend. Guess my body is focusing on healing. Seems like I can't keep the eyes open which is fine.
Was hoping to get to the two boxes of CTMH products to separate and contact people about their totals  and about pick up. LOL Need to put the money back into the account. Got mine and Brandyn's medical bills to pay up.
Hopefully will not be as tired toward the end of the week. Need to get back on track with allergy shots. Almost two months behind and don't want to fall behind especially with all the wetness and blooming of plants going on.
About going back to work... I will be calling up the doctor's office to clarify when I am to go back to work. If this is how I feel there is no way I can go to work even part time. I am pooped. But one more week won't hurt especially because of the severity of the surgery and how much work was done on the reconstruction. I need to watch over myself and make sure that I am doing well for ME!  I suppose that I am responsible for me and no one else should be and that's the truth.

What a day.

It's been pretty uneventful today. Travelled between the bedroom and the bathroom and I am tuckered out. It takes quite a bit of energy out of me. Whew! So keeping the meds scheduled properly cause I don't want to know how it feels without the meds working - it's pretty rought right now and that's the truth. Foot is elevated and having been doing ice. Just keeping cool!
How do I keep busy by watching movies - did a Harry Potter marathon and if I could focus on reading I would reread all the books since the Deathly Hallows 2 comes out next month. Now you must realize I watch the movies at least 4 times... the reason is then I can say I did watch the entire movie LOL all the napping here and there it all adds up to one complete viewing. But there has been more movies - Airplane, Despicable Me, Tangled, Be Cool, and more to go hahaha Will probably go through ALL the Disney movies that I have on DVD next.
Still looking for a walker/wheelchair in one to use. With the other foot to be done it would be a good investment instead of renting. I shouldn't wait too long or it will take forever to get in. Must be ready for work. Have to figure out whether I will be required to clear the dispensary before going back to work. I might have to wait another week. Darn! NOT! But still need to check into it.
Well hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day as I do have to get out and about.

Sending Prayers and Love

Today we learned of a death of someone Brian worked with, Jeff. We send our love and prayers to the Espinoza family. We are so sorry to hear of your loss.
People touch our lives in different ways and are grateful for knowing them. It is a 6-degree of separation that Brian recently worked with Jeff's brother Tom. Through other friends I met Tom's wife Stephanie... From there we have seen each other at get togethers and have gotten to know Jeff and Tom's parents - Dan and Mary and other siblings as well.
I hope if there is something Brian and I are able to help with, although they have a really good support system of family and friends, that we may be of some help.
God Bless the Espinoza family and strengthen them through this tough time.

One week and recovery

Already one week down with the foot reconstruction. Yesterday I pushed a bit more than I should. I am paying for it today. Staying in bed and rest rest rest. Thanks to the awesome Kauer clan for coming over and spending the evening with us. Also Jen's enchiladas were delicious - of course. Visiting with the kids is always fun. We talk about it for days afterwards. Can't wait until the next time we can visit. T2 are growing and can hardly believe it's been a year since they were born. Sophie and London are the cutest and brings me back to memories of Carly and Taylor as little ones but here they are 10 years old - WOW. Spencer being the only boy will be spoiled by us all. Can't help it either as he is so much fun.
I figure I just will have to slow down for the next couple of weeks. I need to make sure I heal properly if I am to go through all this to get my feet working properly.
What's next, hhhmmmm getting out of the cast into a boot. Then be able to walk on the foot. Then out of the boot and doing physical therapy. I am just tired reading all this LOL.

Starting it all over

I think I got this now. Write a bit when I can don't stress.
Okay let's start. Been a busy year and here it is June - JUNE! Where has the time flown? Thought things would settle down after the wedding and the trip to Jamaica. But it has been one thing after the other going on with home life and work.
Been going to the gym and doing the Adrenaline Rush class by Devin Gongora. She made the class work and liked it so much did two sessions - call me crazy but it is great. Classes haven't been held and I am trying to get to the gym the last few weeks but I am trying to get things done and get ready for my surgery on June 13.
The family went out to New Mexico in March to visit Christina and Josh. It was fun being there for a week and enjoyed ourselves - Brian, me, Christina, Josh, and Brandyn. We got to see a few houses that Christina and Josh were considering buying which was great and they did buy one of them - the one we all really liked.
Brandyn finished his winter term and got all B's!!!! So awesome of his accomplishment because he works so hard and it is all coming together. Brandyn recently wasn't feeling to well with what we found out to be a hernia. Within a couple of weeks he had his surgery and is now recuperating. He is a great patient and is on the mend.
Brian and I travelled up to Portland, OR to visit family and had a wonderful trip. Doing a road trip the first time was nice but it wasn't a great drive and we decided to fly this trip. This trip we were able to spend time with our nephew JJ and his family, Leah, Miles and Olivia. Got to see my sister and her husband and the other two kids, Adam and Annie and Adam's wife Caitie. Just don't get to see them as much as we would like. Had sometime with Leah's family, Jeff, Liz, her brother and her nephew, Cassius.
It was a nice mellow week and it ended too soon.
Now it's time to get me going in all things in my life, my health, my family, my work and my faith - not necessarily in that order, but you get the idea.
