Recovery---UGH

So I have decided that I am sick of this whole recovery thing. First off the thought that I am now permanently disfigured is lame, but second it just plain hurts to have your abdominal muscles cut apart. Who really wants a c-section scar without even bringing home a baby--Lame, lame, lame. That is all. Onto other things. I have been really busy with my new job, which has also made recovery difficult, but I am really liking it. We are just getting our acute care unit put together and ready for the hospital opening on the 15th. As for the kids, they have been very patient and spending way too much time with a babysitter--lame. I hate leaving them and it will be so much better when I am back on a night schedule. But as for now I am dealing with the 8-4 every day. We are all getting ready for school. Bryce is so excited to be at school for lunch and Kira will be starting a preschool class. Can't believe it will be just me and Kambree. Trever has been so great and has become a great nurse and his priesthood has really helped me through. That is all for the update. I also wanted to attach a THANK YOU to everyone who has brought dinner, sent a txt, made a phone call, and helped out with the kids ,or gave a blessing. I am so blessed to have great friends and family. And to my best friend Monica--whenever you read this--You are such a great friend--It is crazy to think of how many times our paths have crossed. Thank you for listening to me vent and for being there for me through this whole process. I always walk away from our conversations feeling better about everything. Now this is the only post I am going to write about it--next one I am on to more positive things.

I am glad that the surgery went well. I thought of you on the day of your surgery and was wondering how you are doing. I am glad they found it. I am sorry about the pain issue and the scar.

Jen, you are such a doll!! And I too love our conversations! I always feel like you truly understand me. It's so nice to have a friend like that! So I took Mason to the doctor today...I've decided I'm going to start feeding him, so maybe now he'll sleep and let us get pictures of him!!
