Recovery is going well...

Well, even though I still have some pain I am done with the heavy duty meds...can't stand the way they make me feel...my head is messed up, I am itchy and I was up most of last night not able to sleep. I am switching over to ibuprofen.

I am being very well taken care of. The kids had a snow day today so Jillian would come up to my room and read the "menu" to me. She would circle the items I wanted and then she and Bret would prepare the meal. I might just get used to that type of treatment. It snowed most of the day...I think we ended up with maybe 3 inches of snow. Kathleen let Jillian go sled riding with them and she had a great time.

It's so hard to not use my arms....things you never think of..reaching for something in the closet, turning the fan on and off, etc.

Thanks to everyone for the messages and offers to help....we are thankful to be surrounded by so many great friends and family!!!

Jan - I'm soooooo sorry. If I don't write it down - forget it... I had (in my mind - and that's pretty scary these days) that your surgery was to be next week.... UGHHHH. I for sure would have CALLED you to wish you good luck - said extra prayers etc.... Lousy, lousy friend I am -and I'm sorry! I love you and I'm glad you learned your lesson - being the pro that you are. Let yourself be pampered. DO NOT USE YOUR ARMS!!!!!!! Let yourself heal!!!!! I can't wait until you can get out of your vest and into a more comfortable bra..... Take good care my friend.... I love you - and I'm sorry! Sue
