Update

Sorry for the lack of posts the last couple of days - I haven't been feeling that well.  I'm healing up really well, but I keep having a bad reaction to the pain medications they gave me.  Yesterday I took it and things got really weird.  I felt like everything around me was really thick, and I couldn't talk or concentrate on all of the stuff going on around me.  Thankfully the rash and itching has gone away, and I'm just really, really, really trying not to take my pain meds.  About once a day (towards the evening) it gets too much for me and I have to take one, but hopefully I will be able to get off of even that dose soon.  

It's hard to have the kids snuggle with me because my stitches are on both sides AND my belly button, so they can't find a comfy place that doesn't involve them laying directly on an incision.  They can play games with me (Boggle is the hit right now) and watch movies.  And for reasons that I do not understand, Noah thinks that it makes me feel better to watch him play Webkinz world.  Really, it doesn't.

All in all things are great.  Carl is an amazing husband and he is taking great care of me, and my friends and family all banded together and started bringing us meals the day I came home - completely unexpected and GREATLY appreciated.  I'm not the best patient, so I keep thinking I should be back to normal right now and it frustrates me that I'm not.  I'm trying to chill out and allow myself the week to recuperate, but I'm not so great at being still.  So that's whats going on.  I will now return to Boggle and the Houston football game.
