Watcha Doin'?

So what do you do when you are at home and bored? Usually, I can turn on the TV and watch a movie. BUT the power was out for the afternoon. It was pretty dark outside too. I lit all my candles around the house, but it was very quiet. Can't get online without electricity either! I chose to read in my book. Now that the power is back on....even watching Law & Order is not keeping my attention. What's up with that?

Hmmmm....I am still bored! Maybe its partly due to my boys not being here tonight too. But I have the whole night to relax, but I decided to post instead. LOL! Maybe its time to pull out the Friends DVDs from the First Season??? =D

Okay, so my prayers were answered....and I was no longer bored by my evening! I decided to log on just to see if any of my buddies were online. Sure enough, T logged on right after me. She decided to see what I remembered from her teaching me gin in the hospital. We played three games and had a GREAT time! I think I found my new pastime. And I won't be tripping over any more pool sticks!

BTW, T is a very good teacher! =D

Alive and doing well

Well, my surgeon said that things are looking more positive that I will not need surgery for my gallbladder. I am so glad! Besides, doesn't that just sound like I am an old person with my "ailing gallbladder". I never knew what one was until this hospital visit....or what it did rather...lol! I will find out more on Tuesday when I will be done with my IV pick-line. I am not allowed back to work until they take that out. Which is fine with me! I am still resting alot. These last two days going to the doctors have worn me out. :-$

1 down; 3 to go

My first post-hospital check-up was today with my Hematologist. Thank God for the individual who invented the IV Pick-line. My lab draw was simple, easy, quick, and NO PRICKS!!!

Good news. My platelets are still in normal ranges for the trauma experienced. My red cell count is coming back up. That is, by taking 3 IRON pills/day...yuk! LOL! Yes, I already ate my can of Popeye spinach for the week! =D I will not have to see this doc again for 2 months! Yay!

Angels visited my house today w/ mop and vacuum in tow! I was so very blessed that two of my comrades from Kidz Ministry were willing to come and clean my house for me while I was gone to my dr. appt. Let me just say, that I really liked that and will no longer say that people who hire cleaning assistance are lazy! I felt such a rush of enjoyment to come home and my house was in wonderful condition. These Angels must have had their life insurance in order, because they even tackled my boys' room! N and J did not know about the cleaning surprise until they got home. (Another single mom that I had not met yet, came and got them for the day) N was so excited that he said we need to give Ms. D. TWO thank you cards...one for the yummy casserole and one for his room! LOL! I am glad they are thankful for the help as much as I am. The boys are good help to me too!

Life NOT in the Fast Lane

I am enjoying being home, but I think I may still be on "hospital hours"...LOL!

Of course, I have to be on them somewhat since I am doing my own IV meds. Kind of miss the nurse keeping track of the clock where I could sleep while they hooked up the IV!

I am still up at 6am...which was blood draws and meds...now it's just meds. 7am was breakfast. I am having hunger pains at 7am, but too tired to get myself food. More meds at 9am. Now I can eat breakfast. Nap from 10am to noon. NOTHING on TV...sorry, T, I never could get into any of the Soaps...LOL! Read in my book. 2pm meds. Another nap. Time for dinner. My tray used to come at 4:30pm. Now if I someone is bringing me dinner, its close to 6pm. (But its dinner I did NOT have to cook!) Watch a movie with the boys. Meds at 9 & 10pm. But I am ready for bed BEFORE this. Visiting hours were over at 8:30pm in the hospital and that is when I would go to sleep.

The question is: Am I regressing to a kindergartener's schedule? Or am I jump-starting to the Senior Citizen's schedule?

Noooo, don't answer that...it was a rhetorical question! =D

Whew! I am tired...better go get ready for bed...LOL!

Home Sweet Home

Home at last!

After 15 days in the hospital, I am very glad to be in my own home, sit on my own couch, sleep (still propped up) in my own bed, and of course, use my own bathroom! But my biggest joy was getting to have my boys by my side again.

Thank you all for your prayers. Please keep them coming. My strength is not where it needs to be yet. But I am improving.

T, you are a wonderful godsend and blessing to my family. Dash, thanks for your quiet support and your sacrifice without your "better half"! LOL! Please let N and C know how much they are loved and that they really made a difference in my life too. N and J look forward to coming out to see you all again.

I am still trying to get caught up in reading all the blogs I missed during the last couple of weeks. Be sure to check your old ones, because you know me...I seem to have a comment for everything! =D

Love to you all,
