All Clear

Sinus surgery went well today - I am home and being well taken care of by my amazing husband. It was rough not getting to eat all day - my surgery wasn't until 12:45 - and I had to go to work in the morning. I know if I could have just slept in and not gotten up until around 10-11 then I'd have been fine, but getting up at 5:45, getting ready and going to work was rough. The drive to work was the worst I think because the entire drive all I was doing was sitting there thinking about what I wanted to eat and how hungry I was!

The worst part of the surgery was how bad my throat hurt afterward from the breathing tube. I told Jimmy I am a sore throat wuss since I have NEVER had strep throat or anything (knock on wood) so I don't know what a sore throat feels like. But a milkshake helped that. :)

I just finished half of a present for Sarah's little Max who will be coming soon! I can't wait to send them their gifts :) I really like them and think they are so cute!! I am just waiting on something to come in the mail that I need to finish the last part...then it will be off in the mail!

Now I am just waiting for my good drugs to take effect so I can go to sleep.

The one thing I am not looking forward to is the fact that I am going to be on a hefty dose of steroids for 3 weeks...which means I am going to blow up...and I can't work out for 2 weeks. No basketball and no running :(

My friend T just called to tell me my nephew Jax (her Golden pup who likes to roll in the mud) swallowed a whole tennis ball...she thinks. So she was on her way to the Pet ER. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he didn't and all is ok. She said he is acting normal...so hopefully he is going to be fine and won't need surgery...because as I know after 3 dog surgeries...they aren't cheap!

Alright...off to work on my parent's Christmas card.

Have a great night.

Glad the surgery went well! I can't imagine getting up at 5.45 and not eating all day... I wouldnt have made it! haha. Also so fun that you're making something for little Max! Adorable. I hope Jax is ok too. Maddie is sick :( She has this terrible sounding cough and keeps sneezing so we're going to the vet tomorrow. It just breaks my heart she's pathetic and just wants to sleep... in my lap. Ha!

Oh dear, I hope Jax is okay. Swallowing tennis balls definitely not a good thing. Glad your surgery went well, and what a good lil husband you got there. Aren't they great!! I have to tell you, you said the word milkshake, and now I TOTALLY want one!! Hahaha. You are so sweet about the present. I've been watching baby shows all day, and I've been emotional. I can't wait to hold him!! :)

I am so happy surgery went well and you're on your way to recovery! A good friend of mine had the same surgery and says his life is 100% better now.

Do share what you're making for baby Max :) I love handmade baby items!

I hope Jax is okay - poor pup! A tennis ball can't exactly get pooped out ... my son swallowed a quarter once (I still have the xrays to prove it). We waited 2 full weeks for it to "come out" and finally had to schedule surgery. Then miraculously, the morning of the surgery, it made it's way out. lol

Hope you are back at 100% soon! Can't wait to see the family pics. And you need to post a picture of the gift you are working on as well!
