Surgery

Getting back on my feet after having surgery. Last week I had my gallbladder removed. I had to be at the hospital at 7:30am and didn't get home until almost 7pm that night. I got really sick after the surgery and wasn't waking up fully and couldn't stop throwing up until some meds were given to me. Awful!
Thankfully my mom came down two days before my surgery and stayed a week. She was such a huge help. She cleaned the girls room, took care of the kids, laundry, dishes etc. Awesome! My husband told her he would love for her to move in...haha.
The hardest part of this surgery (for me) is not being able to lift my babies for 4-6 weeks. Who knew! I'm catching myself over and over having to remind myself not to pick them up. Thankfully I haven't picked them up, but I've reached down a few times to pick them up. Thankfully they can climb on the couch and cuddle with me.
Out of the 4 cuts I got the only one that still hurts is my belly button. It feels like I was stabbed with a knife in my belly button...oh wait I was. It's sore and has black, purple, and green buises around it..yuck! It's the biggest of the 4 cuts also. No fun at all!
I'm feeling very blessed though. I'm so blessed that my mom could come and help with the house and kids for a week. I'm so blessed that my husband could take 4 weeks off to help with the kids. I'm so blessed that 3 of my friends brought us dinner. So blessed to have gotten all the prayer cards and get well soon cards from people at my church...some I don't even know. So blessed that a member of the church brought us dinner last night when my hubby had to work his second job. I could cook, but really don't have the energy to do it right now. So blessed to have people come to the house to help me when my hubby has to work his second job (which he couldn't take off from). God is wonderful! I thank him every day for my blessings!
