Doing Great!

I made it down stairs with help from my DH (dear husband). I thought I'd give everyone an update. Everything went well for the surgery. The Dr. said that it was worse than he thought when he got in there because I had a bunch of bone spurs and that were in the way and that I had progressive degenerative disc disease. (I knew that I felt to old to be this young!!ha ha) He said that we'd discuss this more at my 2 week check up. Over all i'm doing great! I made it for a walk around the block this morning and then again this evening plus around the church and back. My leg twitches a bit afterwards, but nothing too big. I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do. I appreciate all the help that my mom & Shelly are doing for me. My mom's been coming everyday and Shelly has kept Claudia overnight everynight except for 1 that Shane's mom kept her. The part I hate the most is being away from her so much and depending on my mom so much. Shane's been good to help with the kids and his parents and sister Wendy. Infact Wendy is keeping the older 3 at her house tonight. So we are childless. It's nice, but lonley.
I'm also having to be humble and ask for help from others, which is harder to do than I thought. So if you feel the urge to help give me a ring, I'm sure I can find something for you to do. I didn't realize what an important person I was to MY family. This is a lesson to myself that I really DO have such a strong influence on those around me and they really do depend on me. I can't wait to get back to normal. (Life without painkillers) They sure do effect you. They knock me out pretty bad. Infact I'm having a rough time staying focused on this so I'll quit. Check back in a few days, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers they are helping I promise!!
