Boy, have we been busy...

Let see, where do I start? I think I told you all about mom's surgery on Friday. Well consumed most of our/my week-end. This surgery was a lot harder on her then her last one. She sailed through put the last one and this one we have really struggled. We think we finally came to the conclusion that part of it was the drugs they were giving her. There were times when she could hardly walk she was so drunk. On Sunday we decided to switch to Tylenol and see if that would control her pain. So far it has worked wonders, in fact when I went home at lunch to make her sandwich she said that she had not taken anything today - YEA!! Tonight we will have to remove her "joy juice" as she calls it. It is a continuous pump infusion that goes into the incision. The juice is about gone, and needless to say she is a bit confused about losing it. She wants it gone because it is the size of a 20 ounce bottle hanging by her arm - but then again the pain medicine will go with it. So she is not sure what to think.

For Easter Sunday Tom's parents came over for a visit. This is the first time that they have been over since Carl's accident. In fact this is the only time he has left the house since early December except for surgeries and doctor appointments. He was glad to see something besides their family room I am sure. We had a nice visit and a wonderful viewing of the 1700 or so pictures that Tom's brother, Bob took while he was in Israel. He just got back on the 19th - and we all enjoyed listening to what he saw. Alayna had a late visit from the Easter Bunny - he came while she was taking her bath before Granny & Grandpapa came. Kristi wanted them to enjoy her egg hunting expedition. I guess someone has to be last on the bunny trail, huh?

As you might remember I was in a boot camp - I put "was" because the doctor put a quick stop to it right now. I am going to sit out this session and do the next one that starts on May 5th if he approves then. I am having heart issues and he is really concerned about the strenuous workout on my heart. I sure don't want to have a heart attack exercising - I would rather be doing something I enjoy :). I have a stress test tomorrow and they say that this will last 3-5 hours. I think the thought of sitting in a hospital testing area for that much time is enough to put stress on your heart.
