I want to thank everyone that helped us out last Friday! I am so thankful to every person in my life that took care of my kids that day. I love and trust so all so much and so do my kids. It's because of you all that I was able to relax and not stress about my kids.
My surgery went great! It was about an hour longer than expected (total time just over 5 hours) do to a lot of scare tissue everywhere. It took my doctor a long time to remove it. I got to keep an ovary. I am back on hormones again and will be until after menopause. Today it had been 6 days and the pain is so much better. It only really hurts when I stand up, sit down, bend over and lay down. The horrible part it the lack of energy and feeling nauseous all the time (and throwing up). Then the hardest part is not being able to pick up Michael and help with him. I have such a hard time watching him be so frustrated and mad. I know he needs to learn that other people deal with him differently but it still makes my heart hurt. Kaylee is doing great and wants to show everyone my ouchy! She even helps me get up and change my clothes. Ken has been doing great job. He has now told me several times I can't believe you do this everyday and don't loss it! Michael and Ken butt heads a lot. but it is good for them both. Ken has to learn that Michael is much different than Kaylee and you have to deal with them differently.
My friend Michelle did a meal sign up for us and that has been a life saver. Ken can cook simple stuff but never has enough time. Having dinners 3 times a week is great. Good, healthy and different food for Ken to eat and give the kids each week. I don't know what we would have done with out it. It is the simplest things that make the biggest difference.
I talked with my doctor yesterday about being so sick and feeling so tired. She said you had major surgery and you are doing to much! She thinks I am pushing myself to fast and that my body is telling me to slow down. I don't think I am doing that much at all but I am going to try and do a little less today. I will go in for blood work and then do nothing but rest. I am just not good at doing nothing. I am going to start a new book too. I am hoping that will suck me in enough to want to just sit and read.
Today I am feeling much better tummy wise I will keep up on my anti-nausea pain medications and sleep as much as possible. Ken goes back to work TOMORROW and I am starting to freak out a bit. My mother in law is coming to be with me all day tomorrow and then a Jennifer is coming to stay with me on Saturday and on Sunday I will be at grandmas. So I think we have it covered but I am scared about how much energy I will have.
