I was laying in bed reading when I heard the strangest sound…..the power came back on!!  wohoo!!  I am still scared it will not last.  we emptied the fridge and threw everything out.  Tonight we took the kids to meet up w/ Dean’s mom so they could spend the night there so I’d be able to rest in the morning again, and her van battery died for the third time this week.  So we were going to go to Walmart w/ her to get her a new one, as soon as we pulled into the walmart parking lot the power went out!!  so we went to another store that had power but I was scared to buy too much in fear we’d get home to no power!!  it’s been a crazy few days.  I didnt really rest much today and now I’m more exhausted than normal, but I’m not in pain.  it’s the oddest thing.  No more bleeding, no pain (at least not in my nose!)  I have several horrid looking bruises from the 3 attempts to get the iv in me, and those look worse than my nose, which looks fine as long as I dont wear the bandage to catch whatever drips out, which at this point is just clear snot!   I feel like I have a cold and am congested and occasionally cough up some blood but other than that I am doing ok.  Tired but ok.

When I awoke after surgery yesterday in horrible pain from the tube down my throat I was so mad at myself and swore I wouldnt get the hysterectomy.  My throat hurt horribly yesterday.    They gave me some pain meds but this morning I was ok w/ just regular tylenol, my throat is fine today other than the coughing up junk.   I dont really feel like I had surgery yesterday except for the extreme fatigue, which isnt too abnormal for me!!

so theres hope I suppose.  I cant lift the kids or exercise or do much strenous for 2 weeks, and then he’ll tell me what I can do based on how I’m healing.   It’s hard not to lift the kids, which makes it easier for them to spend some time at grandmoms if they can!   I cant imagine not lifting them for two weeks!! esp. my baby Zeke!   🙁   at least he is big enough to climb up to me and I can change him that way too.   he has his own potty chair now and used it today.   I am hoping to potty train him before my next surgery, but not being to bed over (another limitation I have for two weeks) will make that hard to do too.

well my eyes are too sleepy….so we have power and I am doing ok after surgery.
