Recovery Update

Well, a week post-surgery, and I'm doing pretty well. I do get VERY tired after a day of ANYTHING unfortunately! Dave's mom tells me this will pass with time. I've been soooo spoiled this last week. Our friends Julie and Todd brought dinner Tuesday the night of my surgery which we cooked on Wednesday night and ate twice. How special we felt! And then our dear friends Tina and Mike did the same on Thursday night. They brought the wonderful meal over, cooked and cleaned, and visited ... I always enjoy having them over and of course Isaiah brings lots of laughs. It was great! And on Saturday night, my sister and family came over and did the same. Another wonderful meal!! I also received beautiful flowers from our old friends Barb and Tom. And on Saturday when Jen and the family came over, I was spoiled with flowers, lotions and cards for Mother's Day! It was terrific! Of course, the best part was spending time with everyone who came over and gave me a break from my pain!!

Mother's Day was wonderful too. Dave woke me up with a Starbucks latte made as I love it ... nonfat milk, sugar-free hazelnut and decaf ... and cards from him as well as our furry kids. And a Starbucks card for future purchases. He then made breakfast. So spoiled I felt!

My depression has been bad unfortunately. I fell into an episode on Friday, but I'm starting to feel like it might end soon. As I type all these wonderful things, I realize how lucky, loved and blessed I am and that makes me happy!

Thanks to everyone for the emails, cards, and prayers. I'm so very lucky!
