10 days after surgery and starting to feel human again

Welcome back sweetie! You are very blessed to have help in your situation. Glad to hear from you and hopefully you'll have a nice recovery.

Thanks May. :)

You're in my prayers, Denise. Take it easy and let your family pamper you for a change. Welcome back, too!! :)

Thank you much, Janie. :)

You're very welcomed. :)

Glad you are recovering! How nice it is to have boys to help you out. I currently have a fractured rib and I still have to do my chores and work! Ouch!

Oh, I know that can't feel good! I hope you are still taking it as easy as you can so it can heal.

I'm so glad to hear everything went well for you, and glad to have you back........that's wonderful, though, that you DO have boys to help you.....I couldn't imagine being alone, with NO help and having to do things all myself.....that would be NO good, plus it would take a person much longer to heal as well!
My hubby almost died back in March of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.....sooooo terribly scary, but a true miracle.....he went through a 4 1/2 hr. operation; even the doctors said that he's a MIRACLE....90 to 92% of all people with this die...and instantly. It was so cool....the doctors said it was a miracle of God!
That entire week, I was doing EVERYTHING........running around doing tons of errands, etc.....like a "crazed woman!" Our son works full-time at the cemetery, so I took care of/handled everything that needed to be done...almost lived over at our union hall, but they were a real God send, and helped me a lot!
Please take good care of yourself, and don't try to do things too fast......you need to fully recover!

Thanks, Nora. I was a little worried that the boys wouldn't step up and give me the help I needed, but they've done pretty well. Throughout my life, I've almost always been the one taking care of everyone else daily and in severe situations, so it feels odd to have someone helping me for a change.

I'm so glad a miracle happened for your husband and I hope that he is doing well now.

You know, Denise, it's really strange........but when something does happen to a parent, and one becomes very ill, it seems like the kids finally realize that hey, parents are human, too, and parents DO and CAN get sick......it makes them open their eyes, pretty quickly......when hubby almost died, our son really was upset (I even saw him crying a LOT when I got the phone call over at the cemetery office telling me that hubby had suffered an aneurysm.....tears just streamed down his face).......it was a real shock, to say the least.
Quite interesting, that when hubby was still in the hospital and I was runnin all over, he kept telling me, "Mom you need to rest," "Mom take some time for YOU." I'd never, ever heard that from him before....amazing!
So, yes, I'm sure it's the same in your illness, as well.......the boys really did come around....perhaps they have done some "long, hard" thinking, as well.
I am so thankful you're okey and have been keeping you in my prayers.....hubby is doing incredibly well, but I have to get him out walking 30 minutes a day......that's fine, as I've got a new exercise regiment, as well!

I think you are right. :)

So glad you are feeeling better.

Thanks Diane. I'm a little bit less uncomfortable after having the staples out, but still rather sore. I know it's going to keep getting better as long as I take care of myself.

Thanks Rebecca. I'm glad you were able to help your friend after her car accident. Thankfully, most of us do get better and will eventually be able to do for ourselves.

Sorry it took so long to come by, but you were always in my thoughts! Do hope you're able to take something for the pain...

Thanks August Lady. The pain is lessening so I don't have to take the pain med as much. My problem is that I can't stand resting all the time so I tend to overdo and then get more sore. lol

I am glad the surgery went well and soon enough you will be almost as good as new

Thanks. I sure would like to believe that. lol

I hope you are doing a zillion times better by now!

I don't know about a zillion, but I'm sure it's 85 percent better than a few weeks ago. Thanks.

Hi, Denise,

Glad to learn that you have recovered from your surgery. Thank you for the update. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks. I'm getting there slowly. :)
