Six Weeks

I can't believe it has been six weeks since I had surgery. In some ways it seems like forever ago, and then again, just like yesterday. At any rate, I don't have much to report this week. No big changes. I did try to go off the pain medication--unsuccessfully. On Sunday I thought it would be a good idea to try to get through a day without it. Even though I'm still having pain, I thought I'd be able to handle it. By Tuesday, I had a splitting headache, my blood pressure was through the roof, the pain, while not unbearable wasn't at a good level. Mike convinced me that pain medication was prescribed for a reason and that maybe I'd stopped too soon. So I took the pain meds again and immediately started to feel better. So I guess I did jump the gun.

Hopefully, I will have some more detailed info after my visit with Dr. Sardi on Friday. I'm not looking forward to the drive to Baltimore (especially since there is a possibility of bad weather). I'll be sure to update the blog when we know more after the visit.

Wasn't Mike sweet to put up a picture of me? I hate to see pictures of myself--but now you can see I'm still here!

I have to thank the folks who've sent food, cards, called, visited, and had us over for dinner. If I haven't returned your phone call it's not because I don't want to. I still get a little winded if I try to talk too much. So, in good time, I will get back to you. So many people have been so thoughtful keeping us supplied with food and keeping me cheered-up.

Also, I'm happy to see comments on the blog from my students: Missy and her sister, Bethany, Micah, and Taylor! It means the world to me to hear from you. I can't wait to get back to school and see you.

And here's a nice bit of good news, fellow PMPer Doug, (see link) and Lindsey are engaged. I'm so happy for them. That is the best news I've heard in a long time!

That's all until the update.
