Just checking in to say Good Morning!
I’m one week post op a full hysterectomy and revisions on my breast reconstruction. Other than feeling tired, I’m doing great! After reading so much about these two surgeries combined, I was prepared to be in a lot of pain for the first week, and I haven’t been at all!
Yay!
Tess came in the day before surgery and stayed with us for a week. She just went home on Tuesday and it was hard to let her go. Tess and Mike have become this great team when it comes to taking care of Mom and I’m not sure what I would do without them.
I was feeling so good 4 days after surgery, that I even went to Palm Sunday at my In-Laws! (Our annual tradition so our kids and grandkids don’t have to stress on Easter trying to visit everyone) I had no intentions of feeling well enough to go.
I took it easy, mostly sat and observed, but all of our kids and grandkids were going to be there, so I was so happy to be able to go!
It was warm enough to get some fresh air.
I chilled for a bit in the swing while the kids brought me candy to share from their baskets. It was such a great day!
Mike allowed his face to be used as a play toy…..
The kids colored eggs…..
We were finally able to get a picture of all three new grand babies!
Left to right….10 months, 7 months and 12 months! Happy Birthday Wren!
All of our grand daughters! I love this picture so much.
These handsome boys released some energy. They are growing so fast!
And….Mike’s mom, the best mom, mom-in-law, grandma and great grandma in the whole entire universe, got to hold her youngest great grand baby while watching the rest of the family play outside.
It was a great day and I am so happy that I felt good enough to go!
I’m working on a much longer post, but I just wanted to say I’m doing great and I hope that you all are as well!
I’ll post a blog before the week is over.
Enjoy your week!
“love the life you live, live the life you love”
Ahhhh…..those babies!! So much love.
Hugs to you Ronda!
Thank you so much Jennifer! Your prayers and thoughts of me are appreciated more than you can ever know.

Thanks Kim! He really is good, isn’t He?

Hugs!
Carolyn,
Thanks for your well wishes. We do that at Christmas too! The holiday can be so stressful with trying to spend time with everyone and the last thing I want to do is cause our kids or parents any stress about who see’s who when. Planning get togethers (not on the actual holiday) makes everything SO much easier!
Thank you for reading! Hugs and Happy Easter to you!
Lucy,
Just what the doctor ordered is exactly right! Thank you for your kind words.
Happy Easter to you!!
Thank you Regina. Feeling very lucky to be surrounded by all of them.
Happy Easter to you!
Palm Sunday was perfect Nancy! I’m feeling great and I hope that you are too!
HAPPY EASTER to you and your family.
You look wonderful. Hard to believe you have been through so much. Have a blessed Easter.
Wonderful news! Sending wishes for a speedy recovery💕
So happy to hear that you are feeling so good! Beautiful pictures of your beautiful family! Praying you continue to recover quickly. May you have a very blessed Easter as we celebrate the risen Christ!! ❤❤❤❤
I have been checking to see if you had posted to see how you were doing. I was so glad to see a post from you. I am so glad you are doing so well. You have had so much to deal with this past year.
I miss my husband terribly but my son is doing great from his brain surgery and my brother is doing well to.
Take care of yourself, I keep you and yours in my prayers.
