Recovery

Brother and I are both well and we had a little outing today to celebrate.  Mom and Dad are fine. They were just here for the festivities. A shout out to my wonderful hubby for being the logistics coordinator and main support person who kept everyone else sane and healthy during this past week.

Post surgery - 1 week   (9 staples and a hole in the head later)

Didn't think it was possible for me to be more wired than normal but I am. Parathyroid hormone levels dropped from a whopping 177 to 22 in one hour during surgery. This is a good thing although I did not sleep for 48 hours straight then I crashed for 17. When I said I was feeling good it was because the anesthesia had not worn off. Day two and three I felt like I had been beaten half to death about the head, neck and abdomen during surgery. Good news is that right now I am totally off pain meds. Mom and dad came up for the afternoon with with a pot roast. A couple of angels also made us a huge pan of enchiladas on Friday and we also had an anniversary celebration after all thanks to T & R. Nurse Andrew got Bob up and about for a clean up and walk on Thursday once I got home. First time Bob had been out since surgery. He can walk again but boy does he have a headache. Elisha was here at some point. What a pair Bob and I make. Stitch and Staple is what Andrew calls us. He has been a great nurse and in between he's finished some projects and the yard looks spectacular. Thanks to everyone who has called and sent messages and texts Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and keep in your prayers the many who need a whole lot more help than we do.
