I realize that the last post may have caught a few people off guard. You have my apology. Things happened pretty quickly and there were some unknowns prior to my surgery so I opted not to share much information.
So, the short version of my story: Yes, I did have surgery. The outcome was very good. I spent four days in the hospital and now I'm home for the remainder of my recovery.
I think what has been the most difficult is that I feel pretty useless. It broke my heart to see Hope confused when she saw me in the hospital. I felt so badly about not being able to hold her and explain things. I still am not supposed to be lifting or doing much, but I can have her in my lap and geez does that feel good after two weeks.
As it stands now, I'll be home for a couple more weeks before returning to work. Hopefully I'll be able to finally do some more things on my own around the house and make it through a day without absolutely crashing into an afternoon nap. Good as new, right?
Thank you to all for your thoughts and prayers during this time for my family. Ron has been working overtime trying to play nurse to me and act as #1 primary parent/only one who can lift Hope. And, he's doing it all with a smile.
Hope is doing her best to understand. She walks around the house saying "My tummy hurts, too. Mama can't lift me." She gets it, but doesn't like it. She's also testing boundaries quite a lot because she's figured out that I can't chase her down either. :)
To my family - I'm so blessed to have you watching out for me. Ron & Hope, Mom & Dad...I love you very much and am touched by your support and care over the past couple of weeks. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! ...for EVERYTHING!

Whew...it was getting a little long there girlie:) So glad you are on the mend. Been thinking and praying for you - I had you on my blogroll prayer chain but swiped you off when I saw your post from the hospital and you gave no info...I did not want to share personal things that are yours to share.
Here's to healing and taking it easy...and then to being back on your feet when the timing is right:)
Kisses to Hope and that amazing Ron, too!
Love,
Heather
