Feeling Better!!!

I just didn't want the last thing on my blog to say I had a bad day. Instead I want to say.....I AM FEELING SO MUCH BETTER! I went to work for a few hours today, and I was a bit tired after, but still doing well. Each day a little at a time! I thank each of you for keeping me in your prayers, and calling and checking on me. I appreciate you all so much. :)

The end of a very long day

Have you ever had a day or week when all you do is watch the clock? Time ticks by so slowly that all you have time to do is feel sorry for yourself until something happens that sort of pushes you back to reality and what is real and also so you realize that you are so very blessed. I was having the bad day of days, crying on and off for no apparent reason, and wishing I was anywhere but here. Okay that sets it up. When I was throwing one of my fits of tear spillage, I got a phone call. Mark happened to call and check up on me, and that helped, but it didn't help that he wasn't here, and I was being a baby. Time was ticking by and I was feeling so down I didn't know what I was going to do. Then the phone rang and it was Derek. He knew he needed to call me. He talked me through some sadness, and so he helped me quite a bit. Then Robby called giving me some of my own advice...Attitude is everything.. Chad called then to take me for hot chocolate, and getting fresh air is what I needed. My family came through for me. It all started with wishing Loralee a happy birthday today, and actually her wishing me a better day. Barry, Tyler, Loralee, Derek, Robby and Chad. Mark and I agree that these 6 amazing people are our best and truest friends. I am so blessed and it made for a great end to a very long day.

November birthdays and surgery

Today is November 6th, Loralee's birthday! Happy Birthday Loralee.

I am recovering from a diskectomy. That sounds gross, and I don't feel so great, so recovering is the key word. Last Friday I had surgery on my L5 to remove a piece of disk that has been causing me much havoc. When I awoke, I was in great pain and I actually thought it didn't work. What will happen (I hope) is that with time, the nerves will fix themselves and the pain in my left leg will totally go away. Until then, I have to be patient, which I am not good at. I am missing work, church and all the things that keep me busy.

Two days ago, was the 4th and Chad's birthday. This was his first birthday at home in 2 years, and so I was a little down about it because I was out of commission. Mark and I managed to make him a cake and Mark took him shopping. I hope he had a great day. No pictures! I am so bad at this. Well, at least it is an update.
