It is with mixed emotions that I write this post...
Lamenting the passing of a very much needed R&R vacation. I have healed, I have rested, I have read 2000+ pages worth of novels, I have watched the weather change out my bedroom window, I have read the news online, I have talked on the phone to friends, I have obeyed the Doc's orders of not going up or down stairs but only 1 time per day, I have watched my children go and come-- all without me, I have endured the feat of being "taken Care of" while I sit/lay in my bed under strict Doctors orders to not move for 2 weeks.
With all the time that has passed and all the things I have observed, not being able to take part... I am sad, yet happy to get back to a schedule. With my vacation time winding down... at least the total bed rest part of it, I look forward to driving my children to their bus stop, I look forward to joining my family for meals, I look forward to going to church and partaking the sacrament, and believe it or not-- I look forward to cleaning my own house-- Not that I am not thankful to those of you that have come by and taken care of my toilets, sinks and floors-- but I am looking forward to not having to rely on others for all the things that I need to do for myself and my family. Not without a BIG THANKS, of course, but it is getting close to the time that I will take over again and rule my roost... OK, maybe just my responsibilities in my house...
I go to the DR in two days to find out if I have stayed down enough to get up. He will check and prod and poke and whatever else they do after this sort of distress to make sure that I am well enough to be on only partial bed rest, minimal lifting and limited activity for the next 4 weeks.
In the 2 weeks I had to prepare myself for this ordeal, I was excited to have this time to catch up on some much needed rest, read a little, get house plans finalized, watch a few movies...I didn't get any of that done... but I am not disappointed. I rested as much as I needed to, I read as much as I wanted to, I worked a little on house plans, and didn't watch any of the movies I had planned on watching... and that's OK. I am ready to stop thinking only about myself and what I want to do.
On a side note: here is youngest checking out the pics of my Uterus... gross? maybe...
He studied it for quite a long time... not sure what to think of it. I guess I did the same thing.
